What is the layer of sediment called?
It is called sedimentation.
What features tell you how a sedimentary rocked is layered?
Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers as strata. The feature that tells how a sedimentary rock is layered is called the bedding.
What are the layers found in sedimentary rocks called?
The layers in sedimentary rocks are called strata.
Rock forms when small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by dissolved material?
sedimentary rock
Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
What are the layers of rock made of?
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.
What sedimentary rocks form when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottom of lakes or oceans?
basalt
What is the layer of sediment called?
It is called sedimentation.
Why are sedimentary rocks formed in layers?
Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
Where you can find conglomerate?
Conglomerate rocks are sedimentary rocks; they settle at bottoms of the rivers, lakes, and oceans in deposited layers.
What kind of sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottoms of lakes and oceans?
sedimentary rock formed by weathering and erosion

sedimentary rock
The type of rocks that form where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called?
The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.
Rocks formed from sediments deposits?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment deposits (gravel, sand, silt, clay) over long periods of time either on land or in water (lakes, oceans). As more and more sedimentary layers are deposited, the newer layers exert pressure on the older layers, which compacts the loose particles and cements them together - forming sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed through the precipitation of dissolved minerals to form limestone or dolomite.
