1. Weathering - A rock is fragmented by physical or chemical processes.
2. Erosion - The rock fragments are moved to another location.
3. Deposition - Rock fragments are deposited.
4. Burial and Compaction - The deposited sediments are buried by overlying sediments and
subject to pressure that squeezes them together
5. Lithification - A precipitate or cement forms between grains, gluing them together into
sedimentary rock.
