What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)
All matter is composed of small particles. What is the name of these small particles?
monicales
What are the very small particles of which matter is composed?
Atoms, which are in turn composed of sub-atomic particles.
What are small particles of soil or rocks that are transported by water or the wind?
sediments
What are small Soil particles that are carried by water and deposited into a delta?
sediments
What are the particles in sedimentary rocks called?
Sedimentary rocks are made from particles called sediment. They are made from layers of sediment (small particles) on the bottom of rivers or seas. The sediments are compressed as more layers build on top of them. The particles then become cemented together to form solid rocks. The layers of rock are called strata. Sedimentary rocks have a grainy structure and they easily crumble.
What is a science paper funnel used for?
A science paper funnel is for filtering fine particles, called sediments, from suspensions, which are substances with these sediments in them. Sediments could include sand in water, or even dust in air, and other small particles.
Does sedimentary rocks have small grains?
No, they are composed of fine-grained sediments, grains of which are generally too small to see with the unaided eye. This makes them easily distinguished from rocks like granite, which are composed of grains of minerals large enough to easily identify.
What extremely small particles are all elements composed of?
Atoms
What small particles are protons and neutrons composed of?
Quarks and gluons
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of small particles are compressed?
The small particles are compressed under water to then form sedimentary rocks
What are the characteristics of the properties of matter?
matter are composed by particles,particles are very small,particle have space between them
