What are the steps required to form a sedimentary rock? You can choose more than one answer.

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Compaction

• Cementation

through heat and pressure water is squeezed out and crystals "glue" sediment together.

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Compaction

• Cementation
