• cementation, compaction, deposition, erosion, weathering

• erosion, compaction, weathering cementation, deposition

• weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation

Sedimentary rocks are formed by

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

Fossils are made by

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