How Sedimentary Rocks Form Layer by Layer

SciShow Kids

This engaging educational video introduces students to sedimentary rocks, one of the three major rock groups. Through a conversation between host Savannah and her puppet friend Sam, the video explains how these rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments like sand, shells, and pebbles over millions of years. It breaks down the process of erosion and weathering, explaining how wind and water transport materials that eventually settle in layers at the bottom of bodies of water to become solid rock through pressure.
