When sediment turns into sedimentary rock does sedimentary rock turn back to sediment?
Sedimentary rock can be broken down into sediment through processes like weathering, erosion, and transportation. However, this process takes a very long time and is influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and geological conditions. It is a natural cycle where sediment can be transformed into sedimentary rock and then back into sediment over millions of years.
Rock type that is formed when sediment is lithified?
Sedimentary rock can be formed from lithified sediments.
What the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
Why is a sedimentary rock called a sedimentary rock?
Because it was originally a sediment, such as sand or mud, but was then lithified into a rock.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is made of hardened sediment?
Sandstone, claystone, limestone, or various other type of sedimentary rocks. That answer is WAY wrong the correct answer would be a sedimentary rock.
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
Why was sedimentary rock named sedimentary rock?
Because the rocks are formed by using layers of Sediment.
What type of rock forms from layers of sediment?
Sedimentary rock.
