CYCLE.
Study of sedimentary geology aims at:
The description and classification of clastic/nonclastic sedimentary rocks.
Processes and their products in the sedimentary record that aid in
interpreting ancient sedimentary environments.
Ageofrocks:
Based on relative age (relative to associated rocks)
or
absolute age (radiometric dating)
Earth History:
The history of changing environments on Earth
Environmental interpretation of rocks + Age of rocks
TheSedimentsandtheSedimentaryRocks
Averybasicclassificationof
allsedimentaryrocksis
basedonthetypeofmaterial
thatisdepositedandthe
modesofdeposition.
The study of sediment and sedimentary rocks that are made up of particles that are the
solid products of weathering at or near the Earths surface.
66% of the surface of the Earth is covered by sediment or sedimentary rocks

Exploit resources from it.
Environmental interpretation: The present is the key to the past
By examining the characteristics of various environments on Earth today,
environments in which ancient sediments were deposited can be interpreted
The description and classification of clastic sediment along with the process(es)
involved and their products in the sedimentary record aid in interpreting ancient
sedimentary environments
Surface Processes: chemical and physical weathering
and sedimentary rocks
Questions
How do rocks get destroyed and recycled at the surface
of the Earth?
At the other end of the transport system, how do
weathered and eroded materials end up making the
various kinds of sedimentary rocks?
What can observations of the sedimentary record reveal
about the tectonics, petrology, and climate of both
depositional environments and upstream source
environments?
6
Weathering and Sedimentation in the Rock Cycle
Geology so far has focused on internally-driven processes: plate
tectonics, magmatism, metamorphism, orogeny.
The rest of geology is
driven by surface
processes: the
hydrologic cycle
(rainfall, streams, ice),
gravity, aqueous
chemistry.
Weathering and
erosion are the
processes that form
and transport
sediment.
Sedimentation, burial
and lithification are
the processes that
transform weathering
products into
sedimentary rocks.
