To become a rock, mud must first undergo the process of lithification. This would involve the subsequent covering of the mud with additional sediments. If the weight of those sediments becomes great enough, the pressure will squeeze out the air and water from between the small clay and silt particles that the mud is composed of. Eventually, minerals will precipitate out of the remaining water, crystallizing to form a cement that holds the clay and silt particles together as a new sedimentary rock.
What else can I help you with?
When melted rock crystallizes into a solid form it becomes a?
It becomes an igneous rock.
When magma cools and solidifies it becomes which rock?
When magma cools and solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
What happens when rock heated?
When rock is heated it becomes enlarged. If the rock becomes too hot from the heat it will break and crack.
What happens to a sedimentary rock after weathering?
I becomes sediments again or becomes igneous or metamorphic rock
What happens when metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock continues to heat and eventually melts and becomes igneous rocks.
How could metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock?
When sedimentary rock undergoes enough heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic rock. A classic example of this is when shale becomes slate.
What is liquid rock that becomes solid called?
igneous rock
When limestone is changed it becomes what type of rock?
When limestone goes through heat and pressure, it becomes the metamorphic rock marble.
How does magma create rock?
Magma is molten rock. It becomes rock by cooling and hardening.
What type of rock is formed when molten rock cools and becomes soil?
igneous rock
As cool as what?
It becomes a Igneous rock.
When molten rocks cool it becomes what kind of rock?
igneous rock.
