Which type of rock forms from the layering of eroded rock?

Sedimentary rock forms from the layering of eroded rock. Over time, sediments, which consist of fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic materials, accumulate and are compacted and cemented together. This process typically occurs in bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, or oceans, where the layers build up over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
