What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?
the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks
What event creates change of the sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock can be eroded into sediments, heated and compressed into metamorphic rock, or melted into magma and cooled into igneous rock.
What has to happen to metamorphic rock in order for it to change into sedimentary rock?
For metamorphic rock to change into sedimentary rock, it must undergo weathering and erosion to break down its minerals into sediments. These sediments are then transported, deposited, and lithified through processes like compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock.
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
How can an igneous rock change into a sedimentary rock over millions of years?
When an igneous rock is eroded by rain, wind, etc. the small grains and dust are swept into streams and rivers. Eventually they are deposited in lakes, seas or oceans. After a long time these sediments build up and are covered by later sediments. Due to compaction from overlying sediments they gradually turn into a rock, a sedimentary rock.
Rock type that is formed when sediment is lithified?
Sedimentary rock can be formed from lithified sediments.
What sedimentary rock is weathered by wind and water and the rock breaksdown int sediments If the sediments become cemented what type of rockwould it be?
sedimentary
What is a rock that forms when sediments are cemented or compacted together?
It is called sedimentary rock.
What rock is a sedimentary rock formed from?
Sedimentary rock is so named because it is formed from sediments. The sediments could be particles of rock, sand, minerals, or organic material.
A sedimentary rock is weathered by wind and water The rock breaks down into sediments again If the sediments become cemented what type of rock will be formed?
If the sediments become cemented, a sedimentary rock will be formed. Sedimentary rocks are created through the processes of weathering, erosion, deposition, and lithification, which involve the accumulation of sediments that are cemented together over time.
What starts the change from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
When an igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediments by processes like wind, water, or ice, it can then be transported and deposited in layers. Over time, the sediments can undergo compaction and cementation, forming a sedimentary rock.
