Coral buried by sediments over time turn into what?
Limestone
Is natural gas is formed from dead organisms buried in sediments?
yes
What will happen to sediments in a million years?
The sediments go into the ocean and get dry and become buried. The sediments go through some cementation and compaction and become sedimentary rock! :) Hope you enjoy...
Why are fossil fuels found buried in rock?
More accurately they are found buried under rocks, this is because since they were formed, rocks have been formed on top, usually by sediments.
How do fossil seashells get in sedimentary rock?
When an animal with a shell dies, its shell settles at the bottom of the body of water it lived in. Over time, the shell becomes buried with layer after layer of sediments. The sediments may become compacted and undergo the process of lithification, becoming rock.
Coral buried by sediments over time turn into what?
Limestone
Is natural gas is formed from dead organisms buried in sediments?
yes
Where does the final deposition of sediment usually ocur?
The final deposition of sediments usually occur in their final resting place called the deposition environment. These sediments are buried by other sediments.

Is it true that Fossils most often form when a dead organism is buried in sediments.?
yes only if they are buried for over millions of years
Organisms with hard parts stand a good chance of being fossilized if they are?
Rapidly buried by sediments
What can happen to a rock once its form?
it can turn into molten rock it can be heated and pressured and turn into metamorphic it can weather and turn to sediments
How could the movement of sediments cause a problem if someone builds on a green hill?
it can fall down the hill or get buried.
What type of rock is made up of slowly buried sediments that were later cemented together by dissolved minerials?
sedimentary rock
What is a rock made of shells and corals cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is made from ancient coral reefs buried by sediments.
Are sediments buried 3 to 4 km deep experience temperature that start the chemical and mineral changes that cause cementation?
NO
