Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Earth_Environment/SWEET)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'sedimentary'?

A. One of 3 processes in the Rock Cycle. the concept refers to the process whereby hot material from the mantle is squeezed upward toward the earth's surface. If it has not reached the surface then the material is described as an intrusive structure and the rocks it creates are called Intrusive Rock. If it extrudes from the surface the material is described as a volcano and the rock it creates is known as Extrusive Rock. [Wikipedia]
B. One of 3 processes in the Rock Cycle. When wind or water deposit fine grained material on the surface, it creates sheets. Over thousands of years, the composition can change subtly or distinctly and the result is differing compositions of layered deposits. As the overlying layers compact the soil underneath the soil is converted to rock by the process of lithification. [Wikipedia]
C. the concept refers to the sandstones, shales and conglomerates formed as terrestrial or shallow marine deposits in front of rising mountain chains deposited in a foreland basin, especially on top of flysch, for example that left from the rising Alps, or erosion in the Himalaya. These deposits are typically the non-marine alluvial and fluvial sediments of lowlands, as compared to deep-water flysch sediments. Sedimentation stops once the orogeny stops, or once the mountains have eroded flat. [Wikipedia]
D. One of 3 processes in the Rock Cycle. When sedimentary (and/or) igneous layers are folded, bent or twisted by heat and pressure due to motions of tectonic plates or intrusions by magma, the rocky material is transformed into other rock called the concept rock. [Wikipedia]
