answer:
sedimentary rock is formed when rocks start to weather away causing them to loosen. **weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soils, minerals, and artificial materials through contact with water, atmospheric gases, and biological organisms.** sedimentary rocks are formed from older rocks. the pieces of broken rocks are then transported (through water.) and over time the layers will become compacted (salt crystals 'glue' the layers together.)
good luck :)
i hope this helps
have a nice day!
