What type of rocks are created as layer of sediment?
Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.
Which is not a sedimentary transporting agent?
stratification
What is Stratification of sediments of rock?

What's the base feature of sedimentary rocks?
Stratification. The existence of layers.
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
What is a prominently characteristic physical feature of all sedimentary rocks?

What is the word stratification?
the word stratification comes from the science word. stratification is the layering of sedimentary rock.
What is the difference between stratification and foliated rocks?
Stratification results in sedimentary rock due to the deposition of organic and inorganic particles. Foliation is a texture in metamorphic rocks which is a result of heat and pressure, and results in constituent minerals appearing banded or lamellar, due to realignment.
