sedimentárnych
Sedimentárnych (or sedimentary) rocks are a fundamental category of rocks formed through the accumulation and consolidation of mineral and organic particles at Earth's surface. These processes occur over extended periods, typically involving weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's land surface and are crucial for understanding geological history, as they often preserve fossils and stratigraphic records.
The formation of sedimentary rocks begins with the breakdown of pre-existing rocks through physical (mechanical) or
Sedimentary rocks play a vital role in the Earth's carbon cycle, acting as significant reservoirs for carbon
The study of sedimentary rocks is essential in fields such as stratigraphy, paleontology, and economic geology.
