STAAR PRACTICE WITH AUDIO

​Steps of how Sedimentary Rock is formed:

​ 1. Weathering - breaking down of rock

2. Erosion - when sediments are moved or carried away

3. Deposition - when sediments are dropped in a new location

4. Compaction - when sediments are pressed and squeezed together

5. Cementation - when sediments are glued together and form in layers

Multiple Choice
