Which order do most sedimentary rocks form in?

• weathering, cementation, compaction, deposition, erosion

• erosion, compaction, cementation, deposition, weathering

• weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation

• cementation, compaction, deposition, erosion, weathering

Which best describes deposition?

• sediment pressing together

• dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles together

• particles settle down, normally at the bottom of a body of water

• running water or wind carry away fragments of rock

Which process best describes compaction?

• particles are squeezed together under pressure

• particles glue together as minerals harden

• sediment settles

• rocks are broken into tiny pieces
