What else can I help you with?
What rocks form under water?
sedimentary
Where can you find sedimentary rocks underground?
under bodies of water
Can sedimentary rocks form under the ocean or on land only?
Sedimentary rocks formed under oceans, but the ocean may no longer be there. The Great Lakes region was once all under water and has much sedimentary rock.
Where would you likely see sedimentary rocks?
under depths of water
Are most sedimentary rocks formed under water?
Yes, most sedimentary rocks are formed under water. They are commonly created through processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediments in water bodies such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. Over time, these sediments become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
Where most sedimentary rocks formed under water?
Yes. Sediment forms under water, generally. Igneous rock, by comparison, forms in the crust and is upthrust by volcanic activity, for example.
How does each type of sedimentary rock begin?
under water when layer of minerals settle on top of one an other
Do sedimentary rocks just form under water?
No, it can form on land also. Just as long as they go through lithification
what kind of rock is formed under clam water conditions near the shore?
Various sedimentary rocks but particularly Limestone and Sandstone.
Where would you most likely find a sedimentary rock such as sandstone?
Sandstone---as exposed rock on the surface of the Earth in tectonically lifted former beach or deltaic deposits. Sedimentary rock---the majority of rock units on the surface of the Earth are sedimentary in nature.The keyword is 'surface'.
How does mixing concrete and allowing it to harden is similar to formation of sedimentary rock?
Both processes include sediments and water, with the water facilitating the setting of the material. However, sedimentary rock tends to form under pressure, whereas the hardening of concrete just requires it to dry out.
What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
