Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary Rocks:

- Formed by the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of sediments.

- Can be clastic (made from particles), chemical (from precipitation of minerals), or organic (from

biological materials).

- Layers in sedimentary rocks provide valuable information about the Earth's past environments and

climate.

- Common examples include sandstone (clastic), limestone (chemical), and coal (organic).
