Sedimentary rocks that form from living or once-living material are called?
Organic
A mineral is inorganic which means that it contains what?
All minerals are inorganic, but some rocks are organic, like Limestone. Minerals can contain anything (nearly), including Iron, Magnesium, Silicon, Oxygen, Fluorine, Carbon and Hydrogen. Inorganic means that it does not contain material derived from life processes.
What weathering material leaves ridges of broken rock and soil?
Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.
What more likely to have fossils grainy rocks or crystal rocks?
I am pretty sure grainy rocks because they are more common than crystals. They are more likely to contain sea creature fossils. They are likely to have sea creature fossils in them because the land we stand on now, was once covered in water.
Are rocks made out of matter that was never living?
Some rocks are made of matter that was never living (e.g. meteoric rocks, igneous rocks, moon rocks) and some rocks are made of matter that was once part of living things (e.g. limestone rocks, marble rocks, iron ore rocks) and some rocks might be a mixture of matter that was never living and matter that was once part of living things (e.g. sandstone rocks, mudstone rocks, shale rocks, slate rocks).
What is the best sign that glaciers once covered earth do rocks contain fossil?
yes rocks contain fossil.
Sedimentary rocks that form from living or once-living material are called?
Organic
What happens to weathered material once it deposited and protected from erosion?
It turns into sedimentary rocks.
What happens to weathered material once it is deposited and protected from erosion?
It turns into sedimentary rocks.
What are sedimentary rocks from living or once-living material called?
They are called organic sedimentary rock.

How do rocks that form beneath the surface of the earth get to the sueface?
Through uplift from geologic forces such as plate movements. Overlying material is eroded away once the rocks rise above sea level.
What more likely to have fossils grainy rocks or crystal rocks?
I am pretty sure grainy rocks because they are more common than crystals. They are more likely to contain sea creature fossils. They are likely to have sea creature fossils in them because the land we stand on now, was once covered in water.
What types of sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of dead organisms?
Biosedimentary rocks (i.e. Biologically formed sedimentary rocks). Eg Coal.
Were rocks with iron once part of the asteroid belt?
Occasionally they might be, as iron-rich meteorites may have originated as part of asteroids, though not necessarily from between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. However many Earth rocks contain iron.
Rocks that were once magma are now called?
igneous rocks
