Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of deposits laid down in lakes or seas. Over millions of years the layers of sediment build up resulting in the weight pressing downwards, creating high pressure, which squeezes the water out. As the water is squeezed out, salts form between the particles of sediment due to crystallization and this cements the particles together. Sedimentary rocks can either rise to the surface again to be discovered, or they can descend into the
