    1. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

    2. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 1. Sedimentary Rocks – Formed from particles deposited by water and wind

    3. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Sediment – Small, solid pieces of material that comes from rocks or living things

    4. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Weathering and Erosion – Running water or wind loosens and carries away the fragments of a rock (destructive force)

    5. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

    6. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Deposition – Sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it

    7. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 3. Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Compaction – Presses sediments together, adding new layers

    8. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 3. Formation of Sedimentary Rocks: Cementation – Dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together

    9. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

    10. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Three groups of Sedimentary Rock A. Clastic – Sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together

    11. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Three groups of Sedimentary Rock B. Organic – Sedimentary rock that forms when the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers

    12. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Three groups of Sedimentary Rock C. Chemical – Sedimentary rock that forms when minerals that are dissolved in a solution crystallize

    13. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 5. Uses of Sedimentary Rock – Building materials

    14. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
