Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

# data[].attributes.body
Small, solid particles of material from rocks or organisms which are moved by water or wind, resulting in erosion and deposition.

# data[].attributes.body
erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it away to another location

# data[].attributes.body
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.

Crystallization is the process by which a solid forms, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal.

volcanic activity or phenomena.

# data[].attributes.body
hot fluid or semifluid material below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock is formed by cooling.

# data[].attributes.body
alteration of the composition or structure of a rock by heat, pressure, or other natural agency.

At the same time the particles of sediment begin to stick to each other - they are cemented together by clay, or by minerals like silica or calcite. After compaction and cementation the sedimentary sequence has changed into a sedimentary rock.

Lithification is the process that turns loose, unconsolidated sediment into solid sedimentary rock.

# data[].attributes.body
Rock that has formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment, especially sediment transported by water (rivers, lakes, and oceans), ice ( glaciers ), and wind. Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers, and frequently contain fossils.
