  • Sediments: Understanding Rock Fragments and Their Formation
    Settled fragments of rock are called sediments.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments.

    * Sediments are loose fragments of rock, minerals, and organic matter that have been transported by wind, water, or ice.

    * The process of sedimentation refers to the settling and accumulation of these fragments.

    Examples of sediments include sand, silt, clay, pebbles, and gravel.
