Sedimentary rocks forms when broken bits of other rock are deposited and then -

• buried and squeezed and cemented together

• melted by the heat of the Earth's core

• completely dissolved in the salt water of the ocean

• used by humans as a natural resource

Most sedimentary rock forms in the ocean.  This is because oceans -  

• emit much less pollution that other habitats
• receive the majority of the Sun's energy
• have fewer plants and animals than on land
• are where most bits of broken rock get deposited

Fossil Fuels form in sedimentary rocks when -

• plants use the nutrients in the sediments to grow
• organic matter is buried along with sediments
• rivers carry sediments down mountainsides
• sediments are used by humans as a resource
