Here's why:
* Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments, which are loose materials like sand, silt, clay, pebbles, and even the remains of organisms.
* Transportation is the process of these sediments being moved by wind, water, or ice.
* Re-deposition occurs when the transporting force loses energy, causing the sediments to settle and accumulate in a new location.
* Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together by minerals, forming solid sedimentary rock.
Examples of sedimentary rocks:
* Sandstone: Formed from sand grains cemented together.
* Conglomerate: Formed from rounded pebbles and gravel cemented together.
* Limestone: Formed from the accumulation of marine organism shells.
* Shale: Formed from the accumulation of clay and silt.
