Sedimentary Rock

Definition: Sedimentary rock is a type of rock that forms from sediment, which is made up of small pieces of broken rocks, shells, plant fragments, minerals, and other materials. Through a process called lithification, these sediments are compacted and cemented together over time, creating layers of sedimentary rock.

Examples:

1. Noun: The Grand Canyon in Arizona showcases breathtaking sedimentary rock formations.
2. Noun: Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock.
3. Adjective: The sedimentary rock layers in the cliffs are beautifully colored.
4. Adjective: These sedimentary rock deposits are rich in fossils.
