Sedimentary Rock

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize a cluttered drawer filled with various items like papers, pens, and small gadgets. This is similar to how sedimentary rocks form when layers of sediment, like bits of sand, mud, and tiny fossils, accumulate and are compacted over time. Just as you press and arrange the items in the drawer to make them fit neatly and stay in place, sediments are pressed together by the weight of layers above them and eventually cemented into a solid rock, creating a structured, cohesive mass from what was once a chaotic assortment of materials.
