The diagrams iflushate the process of forming sedimentary rock in coastal areas
Overall the process entails 11 steps, starting with rain failling on the mountainside and ending with the formation of sedimentary rock due to the movement of the Fouth’ crust The process begins when rain falls on the
mountain peaks, filling cracks and fissures in the rock with rainwater. When the temperature decreases. the water freezes and expands the crades and fissures makes the rock is broken. These broken rock fragments tall and accumulate at the mountain. Then, these ragments are swept away by rainwater., which cary them to the sea During this process, the rock pieces are continuously erodell. Next, they settle at the bottom of the sea with sand and hud. Over time the layers of materials are formed on the seabed. Due to pressure from the upper layers hongles bond together thioming forming sedimentary rock. Eventually, after millions years, these sedimentary rode layers are uplifted and exposed on the ground by the movements of the Forth
Tu summary the rock formation process is complicated and involved in many steps with factors such as: rain, water,
