What rocks are formed by compressed sediments?
Sedimentary rocks like sandstone, shale, and limestone are formed when layers of sediments are compacted and cemented together over time. This process is known as lithification.
What is formed from layers of tiny particles from weathered rocks?
Detrital sedimentary layers.
How were earths layers formed as rocks melted?
Earth's layers were formed through a process called differentiation, which occurred during the early stages of the planet's formation. As rocks melted due to intense heat from radioactive decay and impacts, denser materials sank towards the center to form the core, while lighter materials rose to the surface to form the crust and mantle. This process created distinct layers based on the density of the materials.
How are sedimentary rocks formed in easiest way?
Sedimentary rocks are formed through the process of weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which are then carried by water or wind and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
What rock formed in layers?
sedimentary rock

What can be formed when a river erodes rocks from an area?
A canyon can be formed where the water eats away on the rocks.
Are rocks formed in layers?
Sedimentary rocks. An example is sandstone.

How are metamorphic rocks formed into igneous rocks?
Due to the weathering of igneous rocks the minerals of it get deposited in layers. After a long repetition of this process the bottom layers start compressing due to the pressure of upper layers as well as heat , so they turn harder and harder resulting in metamorphic rocks.
What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
Is sedimentary rocks are formed in layers?
YES

What river cuts though layers of rocks to form the grand canyon?
Colorado river
How did both weathering and erosion formed the Grand Canyon?
the colorado river was trying to get through the massive rocks which we now call the grand canyon. After years of weathering and erosion the rocks started to erode forming a huge canyon......it is so big so that is why we call it the grand canyon today. hope this helps!! :)
Are igneous rocks formed by pressing layers of rocks together?
No. Igneous rock is formed from cooling lava or magma.
