SEDIMEhITARY ROCKS
SedimentarY Rocks:
- Latin woi-d, sedimentum = "settling"
- formed from consolidation of
materials from pre-existing rocks, from
precipitation and from secretion of organisms'
Sediments - finely divided matter consisting of mineral grains and
organic
processes,.transported by
matter derived from pre-existing rocks and from life
and deposited from alr, water or ice'
- origin:
(1) weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks
izi cnemical prebipitation from solution
(3) secretion of organisms
