Answer:

They undergo weathering and erosion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rocks become sediments through weathering and erosion. Weathering is a process that breaks down rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth into smaller pieces. Erosion is the process of carrying away these smaller pieces, usually by wind or water, and depositing them elsewhere.
