6. 3 truths and a lie #3
The process in which sediment is glued together is called compaction
Deposition is when sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it and is laid down on the surface of the Earth
Inorganic means it contains no materials that were once part of living things
Rocks are formed from minerals
