Step 1

Weathering agents like water, air, and glaciers have the ability to weather the strongest of the rocks and erode to a different location. When the carrying power of these agents drops down, the transported sediments are dumped in form of sediments. Under immense pressure, these sediments convert to sedimentary rock. Thus, the sedimentary rock can give information about the entire process and environment of sedimentation like the sedimenatry environment and energy of the agents.
