Sediments derived from early products of weathering on the continents are called terrigenous sediments.

Here's why:

* Terrigenous means "derived from the land".

* Sediments are loose, solid particles that have been transported and deposited by wind, water, ice, or gravity.

Weathering breaks down rocks on land into smaller particles. These particles are then transported to other locations and eventually deposited, forming terrigenous sediments.
