What is the raw material in which sedimentary rocks are formed?
weathered remains of other rocks
How do sediments become sedimentary rocks?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
What are sedimentary rocks made of?
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to plant material. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ice, etc. before they are deposited and lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.
Is granite chemically weathered?
yep
How do rocks turn in to sedimentary rock through the rock cycle?
Limestone, from heat, can melt into magma. Mainly, it is weathered and eroded back into calcium carbonate solution in the sea, with its insoluble fraction left as the sediment from which it was created. Lastly, heat and pressure (contact metamorphism) can alter it into marble (a metamorphic rock).
What are sedimentary rocks of weathered rock fragments called?
Sedimentary rocks of weathered rock fragments are called clastic rocks.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What happens when rocks weathered?
When sedimentary rocks are weathered and eroded, they turn into sediments. And after compaction and cementation of the sediments, it will turn back into sedimentary rock.
Which sedimentary rocks are derived from weathered particles?
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from weathered particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What type of sedimentary rock forms from weathered particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What is the raw material in which sedimentary rocks are formed?
weathered remains of other rocks
What Are Chemically Formed Sedimentary Rocks Formed From?
Chemically formed sedimentary rocks are formed from dead remains of plants and animals that is from an organic sediment.
Which of the following forms when rocks are weathered and eroded?
Sedimentary rock
What type of sedimentary rocks forms from weathering particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
Do sedimentary rock form from crystals solidifying from magma?
No. Those are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks from from the acummulation and lithification of weathered material.
Can you show one sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?
Sedimentary--Limestone Metamorphic--Marble
