FORMATION OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
4 Soil deposits are compressed together.

2 Rock fragments are transported or moved from


one place to another. Other broken pieces
become residual and stay in place with the
parent rock.
5 Dissolved minerals crystallize and
cements together
Rocks are broken down into pieces and/or
1 disintegrated.
3 Transported minerals come to rest and
deposited.
