How do sedimentary rocks form?

Question 1

Page 5: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Objective 1

Most sedimentary rocks are formed through a series of

processes:

• erosion • deposition• compaction• cementatio

Sediment is the particles that make up

sedimentary rock.

Objective 1

Page 7: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Sediment may include pieces of rock, shell, or

bone.

Objective 1

Page 8: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Most sediment comes from erosion.

In erosion, moving water, wind, or ice loosens and carries away pieces of

rock.

Objective 1

Page 9: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

When the moving water, wind, or ice slows down, it drops the sediment.

This is called deposition.

Objective 1

Page 10: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Layers of sediment build up over millions of years.

Newer layers press down on older layers.

Objective 1

Page 11: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

This squeezes the sediment together.

The squeezing is called compaction.

Objective 1

Page 12: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Let’s compact a piece of bread and see what happens!

Objective 1

Experiment

Page 13: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Water seeps between sediment particles.

Dissolved minerals in the water form

crystals.

Objective 1

Page 14: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

The crystals “glue” the sediment

particles together.

This is called cementation.

Page 16: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things are called

sediment

Objective 2

There are three major groups of sedimentary

rocks:

clastic rocks, organic rocks, and

chemical rocks.

Page 21: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Sedimentary rocks are classified by the kind of sediments they are

made of.

Objective 2

Page 22: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Clastic rock is made of rock particles.

The particles can be tiny or huge.

Objective 2

Page 23: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Sandstone is clastic rock.

Sandstone is made of particles of sand.

Objective 2

Page 24: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Organic rock is made of the remains of

plants and animals.

“Organic” means alive or once living.

Objective 2

Page 25: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Limestone is organic rock.

Limestone is made of bones and shells.

Objective 2

Page 26: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Chemical rock is made of dissolved minerals

that came out of solution and formed

crystals.

Objective 2

Page 27: Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106) Sedimentary Rocks (pages 102–106)

Rock salt is chemical rock.

Rock salt forms when a solution evaporates and leaves behind crystals of

halite.
