Explain the process of how sedimentary rocks form.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the weathering of other rocks, dead organic remains or chemical precipitation.Sedimentary rocks form when mud and sand are deposited in layers on the Earth's surface. The layers are deposited in many environments including oceans, rivers and deserts. These layers of sand and mud are later buried. The weight of overlying layers compresses the mud and sand to form solid rock. Steps:

Sedimentary rocks are the product of :

1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material, followed by 4) compaction, and 5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock.
