What else can I help you with?
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
What starts the change from a igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion break down the igneous rock into sediment. The sediment is then transported and deposited, where it undergoes compaction and cementation to form a sedimentary rock.
How would you change sedimentary rock into sediment?
You would bring it to the surface where the exposed sedimentary rock would be subject to weathering and erosion and the debris from these processes will be sediment once deposited again.
How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
Rock type that is formed when sediment is lithified?
Sedimentary rock can be formed from lithified sediments.
What the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
Why is a sedimentary rock called a sedimentary rock?
Because it was originally a sediment, such as sand or mud, but was then lithified into a rock.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
Can a sedimentary rock turn back into a deposit of sediment?
Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
How can you change a igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock must be broken down into fragments called sediment and somehow cemented together.
What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
