Since the rock particles, or clasts, that go into the making of a clastic sedimentary rock are weathered and eroded out of a previous rock formation, logically, they would be older than the cementious material that holds together the newly formed clastic sedimentary rock. Visualize a piece of San Onofre breccia, a sedimentary breccia rock which contains volcanic basalts, metamorphic schists, and other rocks, all cemented together as a sedimentary rock. The pieces of the rock are all from previously formed and eroded rocks. Although the sedimentary rock is fairly new, geologically speaking, the rock parts that make it up are much older.
Minerals are made up of well minerals. there is no other way to explain it. Minerals are Minerals.
Layering in sedimentary rock is due to seasonal or event based deposition of small rock particles which reflect the environment at the time of deposition. Layering in metamorphic rocks (foliation) is due to the realignment and alteration of minerals from heat and pressure.

The hot magma heats the ocean water that seeps underground. The heated water dissolves minerals. When the solution billows out of vents called "chimneys" the minerals crystallize in the cold sea water. I hope that answers your question ^^

sedimentary
no
the formation of the universe
This is not a question.
no because sand is like sedements which could be made from sedimentary, metamorfic, or igneous rocks. by weathering and erosion each of the catagories of rocks i mentioned in the sentence before can become sedements. hope that helped ;) ~sm
Dr. Seuss did not explain the formation of mountain ranges. He was a children's author and illustrator known for his whimsical stories and imaginative characters, not for scientific explanations. Geologists study processes like tectonic plate movements and erosion to explain the formation of mountain ranges.

The explanation of Personal formation is that it is the act of helping an individual form his personal, manly character.
