SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
ROCKS FROM SEDIMENTS
, SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
How sediments are formed to sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary processes have portions that are largely
dependent on climatic events (e.g. precipitation and
wind) powered by the sun.
As rocks are exposed to these surface conditions,
their mineral constituents adapt to the change in
conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.) which
causes significant physical and chemical changes
, SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
Sediments are broken down rocks (physically or
chemically) that constitute sedimentary rocks
Processes of weathering, erosion, transport and
deposition transform pre-existing rocks into
sediments before they finally lithified to form
sedimentary rocks
, SEDIMENTARY PROCESSES
ARE PROCESSES LEADING TO THE
BREAKDOWN OF ROCKS
