Answer 1

Answer: Sedimentary rocks are the product of 1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material, followed by 4) compaction, and 5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock. The latter two steps are called lithification.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The order for the formation of sedimentary rocks goes like this: Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.

That's how the process goes, in order to from a sedimentary rock. I know this because, I looked in my science book and did some research online.

Hope I helped!
