Is the process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it.

Organic rock forma where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in layer. The term “organic” refers to substances that once were part of living things or were made by living things.

Cementation is the process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together.

The weight of new layers can squeeze older sediments tighly together. The pocess that presses sediments together is compaction.

Sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and limestone have been used as building material for thousands of years. Today, builders use sandstone and limestone on the outside walls of buildings. Limestone also has industrial uses.

Shale forms from tiny particles of clay. Water deposits the clay particles in thin, flat layers. Sand stones forms from the sand on beaches, the ocean floor, riverbeds and sand dune. Most sand particles consists of quartz.
Some clastic sedimentary rocks contain rock fragments that are of different sizes

People have used sedimentary rocks throughout history for many different purposes, including for tools and building materials.

The effects of freezing and thawing, plant roots, acid, and other forces on rock. It causes Earth´s surface to break, afeter the rock is broken, the fragments are carried way by erosion. Erosion is the process by which running water, wind, or ice carry bits of broken-up rock.

Most sedimentary rocks are made up of broken  pieces of other rocks.
A CLASTIC ROCK is a sedimentary rock formed when rock fragments are squeezed together. Clastic rocks are grouped by the size of the rock fragments, or particles, of which they are made.

What are the Three Major Types of Sedimentary Rocks? 

# data[].attributes.body
The three major groups of sedimentary rocks are clastic rocks, and chemical rocks.

Chemical rock forms when minerals dissolved in a water solution crystallize.

Sediment is small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things. Most sedimentary rocks are formed through a sequence of processes: weathering, rosion, desposition, compaction, and cementation.
