Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
What process do all three kinds of rocks undergo to form sediments?
They form by sediments of rocks getting squeezed together at the bottom of a lake. Some of those rocks are Conglomerate, Limestone, and Sandstone.
How do halite crystals form in a desert on a dry lake floor?
Halite crystals form due to evaporation of the water in which it is dissolved. When this occurs, the sodium and chloride ions - which, when combined, make salt - move closer together and form the salt crystals. The halite crystal would form very quickly under these conditions because the evaporation would be quicker, due to the heat. Also, would result in smaller crystals, whereas slow evaporation will result in larger crystals.
What does clastic mean?
Clastic material is composed of rock fragments. A clastic rock is composed of smaller rock fragments, such as sand or silt, that have been cemented together.
What would be considered a rock?
A rock consists of lots of minerals, which are made up of elements such as gold and silver. A rock can contain valuable minerals such as diamonds. Diamonds are the most expensive minerals. You can mine rocks and minerals at a mine
What is the name of the force that squeezes material together?
Sand squeezed together, and aged, can make a pearl.
What are rock fragments that are squeezed together?
Clastic Rock- a sedimentary rock forms when rock fragments are squeezed together.
What is a type of stress where members are squeezed together?

Particles are squeezed together during rarefractions?

A group of molecules squeezed together is called a?

What is the meaning of compress?
Capable of being pressed together or forced into a narrower compass, as an elastic or spongy substance.
What is the sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together?
Breccia
What will happen to the particles inside a balloon when it is squeezed?
They will be pushed closer together.

What do evaporation and condensation cause together?
pollution
Why do protons resist being squeezed together?
because they hate each other
What type of mountain is formed when the earth's crust is squeezed together?
Fold mountains.
