Sediments that form sedimentary rocks are derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks or organic material. These sediments can include particles such as sand, silt, clay, and mineral fragments, as well as biological materials like shells and plant debris. The sediments are transported by natural processes such as water, wind, or ice, and eventually accumulate in layers. Over time, these layers become compacted and cemented together through lithification, forming sedimentary rocks.
