Sedimentary rocks are rocks made of small
bits stuck together




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


The bits that are washed down have some
smaller and some bigger bits in them

The bits washed
down are
different sizes




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.

The bits washed
down are





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

The bits washed
down are
different sizes


The little bits gather at the bottom of the
river making a layer

Sediments

River
Layer of Sediments
(Little Bits)




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


The layer at the bottom has alot of weight on
it.

Lots of weight on this layer




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



The compaction pushes the little bits
together




The compaction pushes the little bits
together
The cement made by the really small bits,
makes the sediments stay squished together






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





You need to know some examples of
Sedimentary rock
The first kind is called Limestone
Limestone is made of little bits of shells




You need to know some examples of
Sedimentary rock
The first kind is called Limestone
Limestone is made of little bits of shells
Sometimes whole shells are caught in them
and make fossils


The next kind is called Mudstone



The next kind is called Mudstone
Obviously it is made of mud







The next kind is called Mudstone
It is made of mud

The last example is Sandstone
It is made from Sand


So basically Sedimentary rocks are made from
small bits stuck together by cement and
being squished together.

They can have fossils in them

Types of rocks -Sedimentary

  • 1. All you need to know
  • 2.  Sedimentary rocks are rocks made of small bits stuck together
  • 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. The bits washed down are different sizes
  • 6.    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 The bits washed down are different sizes
  • 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. Sediments End of river River Build up of different layers Lots of weight on this layer
  • 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 Sediments End of river River Build up of different layers Lots of weight on this layer
  • 11.    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 End of river River Build up of different layers Lots of weight on this layer
  • 12.  The compaction pushes the little bits together
  • 13.   The compaction pushes the little bits together The cement made by the really small bits, makes the sediments stay squished together
  • 14.    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
  • 15.  You need to know some examples of Sedimentary rock
  • 16.   You need to know some examples of Sedimentary rock The first kind is called Limestone
  • 17.    You need to know some examples of Sedimentary rock The first kind is called Limestone Limestone is made of little bits of shells
  • 18.     You need to know some examples of Sedimentary rock The first kind is called Limestone Limestone is made of little bits of shells Sometimes whole shells are caught in them and make fossils
  • 19.  The next kind is called Mudstone
  • 20.   The next kind is called Mudstone Obviously it is made of mud
  • 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.
  • 23.   So basically Sedimentary rocks are made from small bits stuck together by cement and being squished together. They can have fossils in them
  • 24.    So basically Sedimentary rocks are made from small bits stuck together by cement and being squished together. They can have fossils in them They can be made from sand, mud and shells
