Weight and pressure
A fossil can help you learn about what once lived in an area.
Fossils
Wind, water, and ice all weather rocks
Minerals that get mixed into the sediment help cement the sediment together.
Sediment
They are made up of bits of rock that have been pressed together, not welded.
Sedimentary rocks are best recognized by their layers.
Geologists can work out what our past environments were like.
Because sediment is so small, water and wind can easily move it and depost it in different locations
Sediments can build up, layer by layer
Strata
sandstone, limestone,mudstone, shale
Weight and pressure
Limestone and sandstone
Look for fossils whereancient oceans, lakes, or rivers used to be.
Most sedimentary rocks are formed in a seabed.
Pieces of rock, sand, and dirt
Secondary rocks
Carbon
The sedimetn settles, or deposits, in one place and piles up.
Sediment is created through weathering and erosion.
These rocks are formed in a wide variety of environments on Earth's surface.
Over time, layers of sediment buried plants and animals, forming sedimentaryrock. The plants and animals, or imprints of them, sometimes hardened and remained in the rock.
Coal; used for generating elecricity
