Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
Most non clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of what?
other sedimentary rocks.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocked by the weathering of other rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones). Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).
Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
Most non clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of what?
other sedimentary rocks.
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Rocks such as sandstone which are formed from particles of other rocks are?
Sedimentary rocks.
What rock is made of other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made from weathered down materials, often rocks, so they can be argued that they come from other rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks; these rocks go under extreme heat and pressure. In conclusion, metamorphic rocks are definitely made from other rocks, and sedimentary rocks are sometimes made from other rocks. Sedimentary rocks are always made of other rocks,extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks as well as metamorphic rocks are weathered and eroded by agents like water , wind and sunlight and are stratified and compacted to form sedimentary rocks. Hence, even if metamorphic rocks are made from rocks, sedimentary rocks are definitely made from other rocks. Eg: sedimentary rock shale gets metamorphosed into slate and further metamorphosed into shcist which is the parent material of granite which can be effected by agents of weathering and erosion into sedimentary rocks again.
What type of rock is formed from particles or dissolved minerals from previously existing rocks?
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
Rocks such as sandstone are formed from particles of other rocks are?
Sedimentary.
Are sedimentary rocked by the weathering of other rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones). Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).
Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
What other types of rocks are there other than igneous sedimentary and metamorphic?
There are extraterrestrial rocks.
