About sedimentary rocks how they are formed and some examples of them. Is would be good if you wrote down the words Compaction, Cementation, and the examples to help you more.
3.
Sedimentary rocks are rocks made of small
bits stuck together
The Little bits they are made from are washed
down rivers
Little bits of stuff
(sediments)
River carrying bits
4.
The bits that are washed down have some
smaller and some bigger bits in them
The bits washed
down are
different sizes
5.
The bits that are washed down have some
smaller and some bigger bits in them
The smaller bits mix with the water and make
cement.

This helps the little bits stick together

7.
The little bits gather at the bottom of the
river making a layer
Sediments
End of river
River
Layer of Sediments
(Little Bits)
8.
The little bits gather at the bottom of the
river making a layer
As time goes by there are lots of different
layers made
Sediments
End of river
River
Build up of different layers
9.
The layer at the bottom has alot of weight on
it.

10.
The layer at the bottom has alot of weight on
it.
All the weight presses on the layer making it
smaller. The little bits in the layer are pushed
closer together

The layer at the bottom has alot of weight on
it.
All the weight presses on the layer making it
smaller. The little bits in the layer are pushed
closer together
This is called compaction
Sediments

River
Build up of different layers
Lots of weight on this layer
13.
The compaction pushes the little bits
together
The cement made by the really small bits,
makes the sediments stay squished together

This is how sedimentary rocks are made

You need to know some examples of
Sedimentary rock

You need to know some examples of
Sedimentary rock
The first kind is called Limestone

Limestone is made of little bits of shells
18.

Limestone is made of little bits of shells
Sometimes whole shells are caught in them
and make fossils
21.
The next kind is called Mudstone
It is made of mud
The last example is Sandstone
It is made from Sand
22.
So basically Sedimentary rocks are made from
small bits stuck together by cement and
being squished together.
