I wonder sedimentary rocks are formed by layers of sediment. When rocks are weathered they break up into smaller pieces known as sediment sediment can also form from animal skeletons plants and minerals when sediments get buried and squash together. They form sedimentary rocks. You may sometimes find fossils and certain sedimentary rocks sedimentary rocks have layers called strata, you will find sedimentary rocks on cliff edges or in caves examples of sedimentary rocks or sandstone flint and chalk.
