The water and sedimentary cycles are interrelated in many ways, Would you please help me to identify the interactions between :
sedimentary and tectonic, sedimentary and igneous, igneous and tectonic, water and tectonic ????

Thank you very much in advance,

Okay, for starters some loose remarks.

the rock cycle of weathering,erosion, transportation, sedimentation is dependent on the hydrologic (water) cycle, and also interacts with the plate tectonic cycle. The plate tectonic cycle is driven by earth’s internal heat and results in the slow but continuous recycling of material through the mantle and back up into the crust


Water cycle - tectonic cycle - sedimentary cycle interaction:
The uplift of the Himalyas causes steeper gradient that leads to sedimentation of floods downstream.
