Deposition is the process by which wind or water sediment settles out in layers. Furthermore, over time, the remains of living things may harden in this sediment and change into fossils. After sediment is deposited the processes of compaction and cementation change the fragments into sedimentary rock. Compaction. At first, the fragments of rock lie loosely together. But gradually, over many, many years these thick layers build up. This build up becomes heavy and presses down on the layers beneath it. Compaction is the pressing down of layers forcing the sediments to fit closer together. Over millions of years, this process can squeeze fragments tightly together. The layers often remain visible in the rock and may be used to identify sedimentary rock. Cementation
All rocks can become other rocks by the processes of erosion  and metamorphism.    An igneous rock may become eroded into its constituent mineral  grains such as â¦quartz and feldspar, which are transported by wind  and water, eventually settling to form a sedimentary rock.
