Sedimentary Rock

A rock that forms when sediment is pressed and cemented together
Real World Example
Imagine trying to clean up a messy desk cluttered with papers, books, and small items. Just like you organize and stack those items into neat piles to manage the chaos, sedimentary rocks form when layers of sediment, like sand, silt, and clay, are compressed and cemented together over time. The way you press and arrange your desk items into a solid, organized stack is akin to how sediments are compacted and bound by natural "glue" to form a cohesive rock, illustrating that order can emerge from chaos through pressure and time.
