Sedimentary rocks are usually formed in water, but not always. Some sandstones, for example, form in deserts.
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water.
All sedimentary rocks are made by of deposition of the products of erosion either on land or more usually in water. Crystalline sedimentary rocks can be produced by the evaporation of a brine.
most sedimentary rocks are mostly made from sediment , you will most- likley find the near water sources .
What do sedimentry rocks have to do with water
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
== == Clastic sedimentary rocks.
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Most non-clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of minerals that have precipitated from water, such as limestone, which is composed of calcite. Other non-clastic sedimentary rocks include organic-rich rocks like coal and chert, a silica-rich rock formed from the remains of marine organisms.
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Mount Everest is made up of sedimentary rocks.
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.
