Sedimentary rocks form from broken-down pieces of existing rocks through weathering, erosion, and lithification processes. These rocks are created when sediments are compressed and cemented together over time. Examples include sandstone and limestone, which illustrate how sedimentary rocks can originate from different types of sediments.
