    1. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

    2. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 1. Sedimentary Rocks Formed from particles deposited by water and wind

    3. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Sediment Small, solid pieces of material that comes from rocks or living things

    4. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Weathering and Erosion Running water or wind loosens and carries away the fragments of a rock (destructive force)

    5. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

    6. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Deposition Sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it

    7. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 3. Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Compaction Presses sediments together, adding new layers

    8. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 3. Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Cementation Dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together

    9. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

    10. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Three groups of Sedimentary Rock A. Clastic Sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together

    11. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Three groups of Sedimentary Rock B. Organic Sedimentary rock that forms when the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers

    12. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Three groups of Sedimentary Rock C. Chemical Sedimentary rock that forms when minerals that are dissolved in a solution crystallize

    13. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 5. Uses of Sedimentary Rock Building materials
