About sedimentology
Some definitions:
The simple definition: sedimentology is the science of sedimentary rocks
“The scientific study of sedimentary rocks and of the processes by which they were formed; the description, classification, origin and interpretation of sediments” (Glossary of Geology, NGI, 1974)
“The study of the processes of formation, transport and deposition of material which accumulates as sediment in continental and marine environments and eventually forms sedimentary rocks”
“Sedimentology is that branch of geology concerned with understanding the characteristics of sedimentary rocks originally deposited in sedimentary basins”.
.So, Sedimentary rock is to realize that all sedimentary processes of weathering, transportation, and deposition are aimed at one goal – reaching the final outputs of all sedimentary processes.
