Clastic sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed when small sediment particles are compacted and cemented together. This happens when the sediments are glued together by tiny crystals or chemicals from fluids that have precipitated in the pores between the sediments.

What can turn big rocks to small rocks into sand particles?
Weathering. It is a set of processes that break solid rocks into fragments.
What is it called when rock forms of small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by disolved mineral material?
rock formed of small rocks that are cemented together by dissolved mineral material?
What type of rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
What are small fragments that have entered to earth atmosphere and fallen to surface?
If the fragments had their origin in outer space, the fragments to be found on Earth would be called "meteorites".
What is one cause of volcanic activity and igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.
What are the small pieces that rocks are made from called?
Grains, clasts, or detritus.
How do the rock fragments formed by weathering become rounded grains?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the rock fragments that are made when a rock is eroed. Theese rock fragments are transported (carried away) from the rock face, usually by streams or rivers. As they are transported by the water, the rock fragments knock against each other and wear away. When they become very small they are called grains
What is a rock that forms from many small fragments of other rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.

Weathering. It is a set of processes that break solid rocks into fragments.
How was asandstome formed?
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.
How are rocks and grains different?
rocks are formed from grains and grains are small and the rocks are big. Sedimentary rocks are formed when grains or sediments are compacted together.
What is it called when rock forms of small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by disolved mineral material?
rock formed of small rocks that are cemented together by dissolved mineral material?
What are small fragments of minerals or rocks usually deposited as sediment?
Limestone or gravel depending on the object of the question.
When is igneous rock formed?
Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.
What type of rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
Are parts of the blood formed of small cell fragments. They form clots to stop bleeding?
plateles
