"This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sediments are unconsolidated small particles of weathered rock and other particles. They tend to accumulate in basins like lakes and bays. Sedimentary rock is when sediments are covered over by other sediments and the layers on the bottom become compressed due to the weight and pressure of the overlying layers.
