Sedimentary rock is made when bits of rocks and minerals, along with bits of organic material, are deposited in layers at or near the surface of the Earth. These layers may be caused by wind, water, or glacier activity, and over time the layers can fuse together to form sedimentary rock. The heat and pressure from layers of sediment above put additional pressures on the lower layers, which causes the particles to compress and join together. This process is called lithification and is how sedimentary rocks are formed.
