∙ 9y agoThe type of sedimentary rock that is formed when angular clastic materials cement together is a breccia. It is usually embedded in a fine-grained matrix.

What are two reasons the particles in a sedimentary rock stick together?
Compression due to pressure from overlying sediments and the presence of cementing substances such as clay and/or iron.
What causes sediments to stick together?
Pressure. :)
How does rock fragments turn into rock?
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
What two processes play a role in forming sedimentary rocks?
The process of lithification changes rocks into sediments. This process is broken up into two parts: cementation and compaction. In cementation, the substance crystallizes, or fills in the spaces between loose particles of sediment. In compaction, the sediments are squeezed together by the weight of layers on top of them.
Sediment forms layers pressure from water and top layers over thousands of years cause lower layers to stick together and to form what?
Sedimentary rocks
What type of sedimentary rock forms when sediments stick together?
nothing
Type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?

How do sedimentry rock form?
sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments have pressure put on them and they stick together x

What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)
How do Sedimentary rocks formed and what are they made of?
Sedimantary RocksThese rocks are formed from th ehot lavaJk jk i was bored i dont reall know what they mean and i real HATE STAaR
How does a sedimentary rock contain pieces of igneous rocks?
Igneous rock pieces can stick together through cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
