When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
What else can I help you with?
What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
Can a moon rock become sedimentary rocks?
no because sedimentary rocks are made at the bottom of oceans
What are sedimentary rocks like?
Some sedimentary rocks are particles and rock fragments that become cemented together. Examples of sedimentary rocks are chalk, sandstone, limestone and shale.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
What do igneous rocks become when you break down and settle into layer?
sedimentary rocks
How can igneos rocks become sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through the process of weathering and erosion, which breaks down the igneous rocks into small particles. These particles are then transported and deposited, forming layers of sediment. Over time, the pressure and compaction from the overlying layers can cement the sediment particles together, creating a sedimentary rock.
Can only igneous rocks become sedimentary rock?
No, any type of rock can become sedimentary rock, because sedimentary rock refers to any rock that has been eroded, and pressure has been applied to it so as to solidify it from a granular state.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What types of rocks can become sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Which type of rocks can become metamorphic?
Both sedimentary and igneous
What process must sedimentary rocks undergo to become metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks must be subjected to high temperature and pressure within the Earth's crust to become metamorphic rocks. This process, known as metamorphism, causes changes in the mineral composition and texture of the sedimentary rock, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
