Answer:

Sedimentary Rock

Step-by-step explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of sediments or other existing organic matter or rock.

The sedimentary rock formation process begins with weathering which involves the breakdown of the sediments into small fragments. The next process is erosion, where water like the Nile River carries them to other places - in this case, the Ocean.

Over time, the sediments settle and become compressed as more sediments are deposited on top of them.

This leads to the formation of Sedimentary Rocks.
