No. Sedimentary rocks form relatively close to the surface. No rocks that we have access to come from the planet's center.

The orgin of sedimentary rocks?

Sedimentary rocks come from the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.


How do you change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?

Sedimentary rocks could become metamorphic rocks if they are exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust. The rocks could come to the surface by volcanic activity or rising magma.


Where does sedimentary rock come from originally?

A sedimentary rock is made from the products of the erosion of other rocks. These could be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. If you wish to know the original rock from which sedimentary and metamorphic rocks came from, you have to go back to when the Earth formed. In this case, the answer would be an igneous rock.


What kinds of rocks did the sand come from at Great Sand Dunes?

Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.


Sedimentary rocks come from what source?

You answer it.


Where do sedimentary rocks form and what processes are involved in their formation?

Sedimentary rocks form at or near the Earth's surface through the accumulation and compression of sediments. These sediments can come from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks, as well as from the remains of plants and animals. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.


Where did sediment come from?

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.


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.


Where sediment come from?

Sediments come from the erosion of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.


What is a sentence with igneous sedimentary and metamorphic?

Igneous, sedimentaty and metamorphic are all types of rocks. You would just write sentences to describe each, like "Igneous rocks come from volcanoes" and "Sedimentary rocks come from sediment."


Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?

Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.


Where do sedimentary rocks come from above ground or underground?

Sedimentary rocks are typically formed above ground through the accumulation and compaction of sediment particles such as sand, clay, and organic material. These sediments may originate from weathering and erosion of existing rocks. Once deposited, pressure and cementation over time solidify the sediments into sedimentary rocks.
