Answer:

1. Rock Strata: Layers of beds are called strata. They are formed from sedimentary rocks being deposited on the Earth's solid surface over long periods of time.

2. Bedding Plane: the surface that separates each successive layer of a stratified rock from its preceding layer

3. Sedimentary rocks: Sedimentary rocks are deposited in layers as strata, forming a structure called bedding.

4. Compaction: This process is called compaction. ... After compaction and cementation the sedimentary sequence has changed into a sedimentary rock.

5. Stratifaction: Stratification is the process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers.
