Activity
Water, wind, and gravity transport rocks, minerals, and other materials into the sea. Multiple layers of sediment form over
time. Air and water between the layers of sediment are removed through compaction. As pressure builds, the layers
become hard and transform into sedimentary rocks.
Part A
Based on what you learned in the video, draw a model that shows how weathered rock turns into sedimentary rock. Use
the paragraph above to guide you, and label all parts of the process. Mark the location of highest pressure.
