yes because it is sedimentry isnt it

What else can I help you with?
Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
Why are sedimentary rocks softer than igneous rock?
It's because sedimentary rocks have big air spaces in them which makes them very porous, whereas igneous and metamorphic rocks are less porous, as the crystals are tightly packed.
What wears away more easily sedimentary rocks or igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rocks generally wear away more easily than igneous rocks due to their composition and structure. They are often made up of softer minerals and have a layered, less cohesive structure, making them more susceptible to erosion and weathering. In contrast, igneous rocks, formed from cooled magma or lava, tend to be denser and harder, providing them with greater resistance to wear. Thus, sedimentary rocks typically erode at a faster rate than igneous rocks.
More often than metamorphic or igneous rocks sedimentary rocks have what?
Sedimentary rocks have numerous fossils
Which is older igneous or sedimentary?
Igneous rocks are typically older than sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten material (magma or lava), which usually happens before the formation of sedimentary rocks through processes like erosion, deposition, and compaction.
What are the three types of rock and their formation?
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
Is igneous harder than sedimentary rocks?
Not necessarily. The hardness of a rock depends on its mineral composition and how it formed, rather than the type of rock it is. Some igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks, while others may be softer. It varies depending on the specific rock type within each category.
What feature of sedimentary rocks are unlikely to be found in metamorphic rocks?
they are more softer than metamorphic rocks
What do sedimentary rocks have more often than metamorphic or igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rocks often have visible layers or bedding, which are less common in metamorphic or igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks also tend to contain fossils, as they are formed from the accumulation of sediments. Additionally, sedimentary rocks are more likely to be composed of minerals that are common in the Earth's crust.
Which types of rocks are not metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary and Igneous rocks are not metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks however are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have undertaken metamorphism (In extreme heat and/or pressure the minerals are forced to recrystalize) and become metamorphic rocks. If the heat/pressure causes the rock to melt into liquid rock than it is no longer metamorphi, it is igneous. Hope this helps :)
Are igneous rocks less porous than sedimentary rocks?
Generally, yes. Igneous rocks are typically less porous than sedimentary rocks because they form from molten magma that cools and solidifies quickly, leaving minimal space for pores to form. Sedimentary rocks, on the other hand, are often composed of loose grains or fragments that can create more pore spaces within the rock.
Are metamorphic rocks more dense than sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are denser than sedimentary rocks because the particles and materials making up the igneous rock are more closely packed and compacted making more matter able to fit into a tiny area of its structures.
