What else can I help you with?
How does igneous and metamorphic rocks change into sediments?
by hardening over time
How do crystal change over time?
crystals change because of sediments such as sand and small pieces of dried up mud. the sediments begin to chip away at the rock until after about 3000 years the rock looks completely different.
How can rivers change the landscape?
Rivers can change the landscape through erosion, transportation of sediments, and deposition. Over time, rivers can carve out valleys, create deltas, and form floodplains. Their continuous movement of water and sediments shapes the land around them.
What type of rocks are formed when sediments are compacted over time?
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
Coral buried by sediments over time turn into what?
Limestone
How have sediments been transported over time?
Sediments have been transported over time through various natural processes such as erosion, weathering, and transportation by wind, water, glaciers, or gravity. These processes can move sediments from one location to another, shaping landscapes and depositing sediments in different environments. Eventually, these sediments can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
What observations did you make as to how ice deposited sediments over time?
Over time, we observed that ice gradually deposits sediments in layers, resulting in distinct bands. This layering suggests multiple periods of deposition and can provide insights into past environmental conditions and changes. Additionally, the size and composition of the sediments can vary within each layer, indicating different modes of transport and origins.
What will happen to every lake over time?
They will fill up with silt and sediments.
How are rocks and gems made?
From compaction of sediments over a wide time span
How is delta most likely formed?
by sediments building up over time
What starts a change from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion break down the igneous rock into sediments, which are carried away by water or wind and eventually deposited in layers. Over time, these sediments compact and cement together to form a sedimentary rock.
What starts the change from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
When an igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediments by processes like wind, water, or ice, it can then be transported and deposited in layers. Over time, the sediments can undergo compaction and cementation, forming a sedimentary rock.
