Sedimentary Rocks

2

Sediments - broken down rocky materials

media

3

Where do sediments come from?

Weathering - breakdown of rocky material
Erosion - movement of rocky material
Deposition - settling of rocky material

All of this happens by natural means (rain, wind, temperature change, etc.) and is caused by the Sun's energy.
