Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediment, including materials such as sand, silt, and clay, which are often deposited by water. The layers within sedimentary rocks can often provide valuable information about the type and nature of the environments in which the sediment was deposited, including the presence of rivers, lakes, and oceans. Igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and volcanic ash are not formed through the same process and are unlikely to provide such information.
