Detrital sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and compaction of eroded rock fragments that have been transported by water, wind, or ice and deposited in sedimentary basins over time. As additional layers of sediment are deposited, the lower layers undergo compaction and cementation through burial and lithification, forming identifiable strata of solidified sedimentary rock.
