Final answer:

Sedimentary rock formation involves deposition, compaction, and cementation to transform sediments into solid rock.


Explanation:

Deposition: Sediment particles settle out of the transporting medium (wind, water) due to decreasing energy.

Compaction: Overlying sediments weight presses down, reducing pore spaces and squeezing out water and air.

Cementation: Minerals precipitate from fluids in the pore spaces, binding sediment grains together to form solid rock.
