"Sedimentary rock is only formed beneath the Earth's surface." — this is incorrect.
Sedimentary rocks form at or near Earth's surface by the deposition of sediments (in water or on land) and then by compaction and cementation (lithification). They commonly form in rivers, lakes, deserts, and marine environments; only later burial may occur during diagenesis.
