Sedimentary rocks cover 75% of the Earth's surface. Four basic processes are involved in the formation of a clastic sedimentary rock: weathering (erosion)caused mainly by friction of waves, transportation where the sediment is carried along by a current, deposition and compaction where the sediment is squashed together to form a rock of this kind. Sedimentary rocks are formed from overburden pressure as particles of sediment are deposited out of air, ice, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension.
   Sedimentary rocks can also be formed when minerals are dissolved in  water and are then resolidified. This type of sedimentary rock is  called a chemical sedimentary rock.Oolitic limestone is a good  example of this type of sedimentary rock. 1 person found this useful. sedimentary rock is one made up of particles of minerals that have settled out of water or wind in layers that have been subsequently lithified. Think of mud settling at the bottom of a lake, this is a sedimentary deposit.
