## Step 1The question is asking about the processes that can recycle sedimentary rock into sediment. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments, which are small particles of rocks, minerals, and organic material. These sediments are deposited over time and compressed to form sedimentary rocks.## Step 2The processes that can recycle sedimentary rocks into sediment include weathering and erosion. Weathering is the process where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by physical or chemical means. This can be due to temperature changes, water, wind, or biological activity.## Step 3Erosion is the process where these weathered pieces are transported away by natural forces such as wind, water, or ice. This transportation can be in the form of wind-blown dust, river currents, or glacial movement.## Step 4Once these pieces are transported, they settle and accumulate in a new location, forming sediment. This sediment can then be compressed over time to form new sedimentary rocks.
