Sedimentary Rock

Sedimentary rocks are formed by

• Cooling of lava or magma
• Heat and pressure
• Compacting and cementing

How is sediment formed?

• Weathering and Erosion
• Melting
• Pressure

What is the breaking down of rocks?

• Weathering
• Clastic
• Vesicular

The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue sediment together.

• cementation
• deposition
• organic rock

What is deposition?

• Pieces of sediment come to rest on a surface
• Movement of sediment
• Breaking down of sediment 

Fossils are made by

• Plants dying
• Animals or plants are imprinted on a layer of sedimentary rock
• Breaking down of rocks

Small pieces of rock are also called

• sediment
• coal
• organic matter
• erosion

The breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water and ice

• erosion
• cementation 2*
• pressure
• weathering

Wind, water, ice and gravity carry sediments away
