=== Sedimentary rock ===
Sedimentary rocks are formed by sand and other sediments which precipitate from solution, and undergo [[lithification]]. Although only about 5% of the earth's rocks are sedimentary, 75%-80% of the Earth's land area is covered in sedimentary rock.[http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/distance/gg101/Programs/program21%20SedimentaryRocks/program21.html] Therefore, flood geologists point out, there is irrefutable evidence that at least 75% of the Earth's land was once covered in water.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by sand and other sediments which settle out of suspension in water, as well as the hard parts of small aquatic organisms such as [[plankton]], which accumulate on the bottom of a body of water and undergo [[lithification]].
