Cosmogenous

Real World Example

Imagine you are cleaning your living room, and you notice a thin layer of dust accumulating on surfaces despite your regular efforts to keep it tidy. Just like this persistent dust that seems to come from nowhere, cosmogenous sediments accumulate on Earth from particles that originate in space. The connection here is that just as dust particles settle in your living room from the air, tiny particles from meteors and cosmic debris settle on the Earth's surface, creating a layer of sediments that are not from our planet but from the vastness of space.
