class=\"has-large-font-size\">Sedimentary rocks are often created by the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks, which break down into smaller particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-large-font-size\" style=\"color:#000060\"><strong>Softness<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Sedimentary rocks tend to be softer than igneous or metamorphic rocks, making them easier to erode or break apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-large-font-size\" style=\"color:#000060\"><strong>Real-Life Examples<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
