What is the origin of sedimentary rocks?

What is the origin of sedimentary rocks?
Due errosion small prarts come to the surface. They will be transported and deposit .
Door errosie komen kleine deeltjes (sediments) vrij. Deze worden getransporteerd en gedepositioneerd. Ze worden dus op een andere manier samen gebracht, en komen zo steeds dieper in de grond. (Er komt naar een tijd weer een laag bovenop) Uit eindelijk zullen ze sedimentary rocks vormen. Denk ook aan een stijgende temperatuur en pressure die met diepte komt. -
