∙ 11y agoguys... dont believe me on this one but
im pretty sure its chemical sedimentary rock. cause i
have my textbook with me for my science test and it says
chemical sedimentary rock... but dont believe me.. im telling you
welll..... its not my fault if you guys get
something wrong cause of me... cause i told you not to believe me

Name the three major groups of rocks and describe how each forms?
The three groups are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. igneous forms when magma or lava cools down. sedimentary forms when sediments (clay, sand, silt etc) gets compressed. and metamorphic forms when an igneous or sedimentary goes under very high temperatures and pressure
Where would you most likely find a sedimentary rock such as sandstone?
Sandstone---as exposed rock on the surface of the Earth in tectonically lifted former beach or deltaic deposits. Sedimentary rock---the majority of rock units on the surface of the Earth are sedimentary in nature.The keyword is 'surface'.
How are chemical and organic rocks classified?
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks. They are different because organic rocks are composed of the remains of living things but chemical rocks are formed by inorganic processes such as evaporation.
What is a dark sedimentary rock formed by compression of layers of clay-rich sediment?
Shale is made from layers of mud and clay pressed together. :)
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
What rock is formed from biological remains or precipitation?
From biological processes: organic sedimentary rock.From precipitation or evaporation: chemical sedimentary rock.
What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
Which rock is sedimentary origin and formed as a result of chemical process?
Dolostone because it is a sedimentary rock that is formed through a chemical process that involves evaporation and crystallization.
What sedimentary rock is not classified by the size of clastic sediment that forms the rock?
Chemical sedimentary rock, those formed from precipitation or evaporation from saturated solutions.
Which rock is sedimentary in origin and formed as a result of chemical processes?
Dolostone because it is a sedimentary rock that is formed through a chemical process that involves evaporation and crystallization.
What rock forms when mineral-rich water evaporates?
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the precipitation from, or evaporation of, water that is saturated with dissolved minerals. In addition, most clastic sedimentary rocks are also formed from the cementing together of sediment particles by the precipitation of minerals from water.
Are sedimentary rocks formed because of water evaporating and leaving crystals behind?
Some sedimentary rock is formed this way; chemical sedimentary rock formed from evaporites, like rock salt, and rock gypsum.
What are the 3 types of sedimentary?
Mechanically formed sedimentary rock , Chemically formed sedimentary rock and Organically formed sedimentary rock.
Is slate a sedimentary rock igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
Halite is recognized by the IMA as a valid mineral, not a rock. According to the website linked below, "Halite is an evaporative sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral halite (sodium chloride)."
Sedimentary rock formed from deposits of?
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
What types of sedimentary rocks are there?
Physically/mechanically formed sedimentary rock, organically/biologically formed sedimentary rock, and chemically formed sedimentary rock.
How do minerals form from water evaporating?
first of all rocks don't evaporate. Second of all they turn into magma then when magma cools it turns into igneous rock
