GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth’s surface. Sedimentary rocks often have distinctive layering or bedding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical sedimentary rocks can be found in many places, from the ocean to deserts to caves. For instance, most limestone forms at the bottom of the ocean from the precipitation of calcium carbonate and the remains of marine animals with shells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Layering, or bedding, is the most obvious feature of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed particle by particle and bed by bed, and the layers are piled one on top of the other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rocks roll down, crack, and hit each other and are broken down into small fragments. These smaller particles are called sediments. These sediments are transported and deposited by wind, water, etc. These loose sediments are compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sedimentary rocks are formed from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth’s surface. If sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
