Explain why sedimentary rocks are found as a veneer covering large areas of the continental igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are the result of igneous rocks breaking down.This is a slow process so there is not as much broken down as there is not broken down.

Sedimentary rocks cover large areas of continental igneous rocks due to processes like weathering, erosion, sediment production, transportation, deposition, and lithification. This cycle leads to sediments accumulating and solidifying over igneous formations. Thus, sedimentary rocks serve as a veneer, resulting from millions of years of geological activity.
