Through the processes of weathering (breaking of rocks into smaller pieces) and erosion (transport of material from one place to another by ice, wind, water, and gravity), or by the transport or exposure of sedimentary rock by tectonic forces, such as plate movements.
sea shells become sedimentary rocks when they are cemented together by minerals
Over time more and more sand gets washed out to sea and layer of sand begin to build up. The extreme pressures and tempuratures under the sea then begin to compact and form a metomophic rock.
Deposition.
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
When an Igneous rock is broken down by physical processes it can become sediment, carried along rivers and waterways to reach the sea and the oceans. When upon the seabed, it is slowly covered by other sediment, and the combined force of the water above and sediment above working with sea mud and other sea deposits forms sedimentary rock.
Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.
We know that the sea floor is composed of old basaltic rock called SIMA . The sea floor mostly contains sand (which came from a continent ) , some marine sediment, continental sediment and some types of sediment . We also get some resources from the sea floor, like petroleum, and some marine resources, but then again the sea floor is the least explored thing on our planet. Answer: You can also find starfish at the bottom of the sea floor. Along with seaweed and other plants that grow on the sea floor.
Sea sediment jasper is a type of jasper that is often found near the shores of oceans, where sediments have accumulated over time. The unique patterns and colors in sea sediment jasper are a result of different minerals and compounds being deposited in the sediment layers that eventually solidify into jasper.
Deposition.
The midwest was once an inland sea. Over time organic sediment that sunk to the bottom of the sea created a uniformly flat surface on the sea floor. When the sea dried the sediment was left uniformly flat.
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
sediment
Alluvial fan
when sediment falls into the sea it forms into sedimentary rock which then turns into metamorphic rock and back again it comes from the volcanoes it plays a major role in the rock cycle
Do You Know The Sedimentary Rocks?They are formed into sediment on the sea floorsediment is sand
they wash sediment into the sea
It comes from sea mounts and ocean trenches.
When an Igneous rock is broken down by physical processes it can become sediment, carried along rivers and waterways to reach the sea and the oceans. When upon the seabed, it is slowly covered by other sediment, and the combined force of the water above and sediment above working with sea mud and other sea deposits forms sedimentary rock.
Hemipelagic sediment is deep-sea sediment that is commonly deposited near continental margins. More than 25% of the fraction coarser than 5 microns is either terrigenous, volcanogenic, and/or neritic in orign.
