NGSS.MS-LS2-3

A type of rock that forms in layers when sediments from a weathered rock were eroded and deposited in the ocean, where the compaction and cementation turned them into a new rock.

• weathering

dropped off of sediments in new locations

• compaction

• deposition

• cementation

• erosion

the process by which sediments are pressed together (squeeze) under water and layers of other sediments (pressure).

• compaction

• cementation

• fossils

• Sedimentary Rock

the process by which dissolved minerals in the water glue particles of sediment together into one rock.

• fossils

• compaction

• cementation

• weathering

the preserved remains or traces of organisms that once lived on Earth. They are important because they provide evidence of the past.
