greg wrote the following steps in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
step 1: weathering of rocks forms sediments
step 2: sediments are heated
step 3: sediments are deposited
step 4: compaction and cementation forms rocks
which step contains an error?
step 1
step 2
step 3
step 4

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks form through weathering (Step 1), erosion, deposition (Step 3), compaction, and cementation (Step 4). Heating sediments is a process in metamorphic rock formation, not sedimentary. So Step 2 is wrong.

Answer:

Step 2
