Which size sediment would be easier to compact?
Fine grained sediment would compact more easily because of the smaller spaces between particles.
What does pressure alone do to sediment?
When pressure is applied to pieces of sediment, compaction takes place. Compaction is the process in which pieces of sediment are under severe pressure and it becomes solid rock. Therefore, pressure turns pieces of sediment into sedimentary rock.
What causes rock to become sediment?
Igneous rock becomes sediment due to exposure to chemical and mechanical weathering at or near the surface.
What has happen to sediment in order for it to become sedimentary rock?
um ok
What processes can cause rock to breakapart into sediment?
