Explanation:
Weathering - erosion - transportation - deposition
Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are formed from pre-existing rocks. The agents of denudation plays very important roles during the formation these rock types.
- Existing rock bodies are broken down in to tiny fragments.
- These fragments are carried by erosion and transported.
- In the basin they are deposited as layers.
- Compaction, lithification and cementation occurs with burial.
- This will then lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
