  • Sedimentary Rock Formation: Understanding the Three Key Processes
    The three main processes of sedimentary rock formation are:

    1. Weathering: Breaking down existing rocks into smaller pieces (sediments).

    2. Erosion: Transporting the sediments away from their original location.

    3. Deposition: The sediments settling and accumulating in a new location.

    The fourth and final process is Lithification, which is the process of turning loose sediments into solid rock.

    Therefore, the answer to your question is Lithification.
