Answer;

From the buildup of sediments

From materials solidified from solutions

Explanation;

  • Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface.
  • Other sedimentary rocks called evaporites form when minerals come out of solution as water evaporates off.
  • Organic sedimentary rocks forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in layers.
