Standard S6E5c. Classify rocks by their process of formation.

2. Sedimentary Rocks Formation: Begins with sediment
Sediment—particles of materials which come from rocks or living things.

3. Sedimentary Rocks Formation: Begins with sediment
Sediment—particles of materials which come from rocks or living things.
Erosion—process by which water, ice, wind or gravity move weathered rock (sediment) or soil.

Erosion—process by which water, ice, wind or gravity move weathered rock (sediment) or soil.
Deposition—process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it.
