Sedimentary  Rocks  by Ann C. Cloutier 2011 copyright
Sediments  are pieces of solid material that have been deposited on Earth’s surface by wind, water, ice, gravity or chemical precipitation ,[object Object],[object Object],acloutier copyright 2011
Weathering of Earth’s surface acloutier copyright 2011
Types of weathering of rocks ,[object Object],[object Object],acloutier copyright 2011
Resistant mineral grains are released and weaker grains are broken down in the process of chemical weathering ,[object Object],acloutier copyright 2011
Many types of erosion can affect a surface area of Earth’s lithosphere acloutier copyright 2011
Four major agents of erosion   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],acloutier copyright 2011
A glacier carved this landscape millions of years ago acloutier copyright 2011
Deposition  is the laying down of sediments on the ground or that sink to the bottom of bodies of water like the oceans or lakes ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],acloutier copyright 2011
Cementation  occurs when mineral growth cements sediment grains together into solid rock ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],acloutier copyright 2011
Cross-bedding  is formed as inclined (slope) layers of sediments move forward across a horizontal surface acloutier copyright 2011
Graded Bedding  is where the particle size of sediments becomes progressively heavier and coarser towards the bottom layers acloutier copyright 2011
Fossils  are found in sedimentary rocks ! ,[object Object],[object Object],acloutier copyright 2011
