I WONDER - How Is A Sedimentary Rock Formed?

Sedimentary rocks form through various processes, such as the compression of sand or mud by water or ice, or the accumulation of shells and other materials on the ocean floor. Sediments carried by rivers to the ocean floor eventually become rock, a process known as livification.

Explain how sediment carried by a river can eventually turn into rock.
