What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Which type of rocks are produced from broken down bits other kinds of rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
How was asandstome formed?
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.

What do igneous rocks become when you break down and settle into layer?
sedimentary rocks
What is the process where sedimentary rocks are broken down?
Erosion.
Which type of rocks are produced from broken down bits other kinds of rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.

Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
How can metamorphic rocks be changed into sedimentary rocks?
It can be changed by being broken down in the weathering process just like all rocks. The resulting sediment can then be lithified to for a sedimentary rock.
What sedimentary gives info about past conditions of?
Sedimentary rocks are laid down one layer at a time. The layers give information on how the rocks formed.
Why sedimentary rocks are found as a veneer covering large areas of continental igneous rock?
Sedimentary rocks are the result of broken down igneous rocks so they cover up most of igneous rocks.
