Are sedimentary rocks affected by weathering and erosion?
All rocks are, once on the surface exposed to "the elements".
What can erosion and weathering create?
Sediments. Weathering and Erosion can break down Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks and Metamorphic rocks all into Sediments. Hopefully this helped you.
What kind of rocks are caused by weathering?
The most common rock that experiences weathering, is sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic and Igneous are unlikey to.
Weathering breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces sediments?
Weathering breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces sediments results in the formation sedimentary rocks.
Why aren't there any sedimentary rocks on the moon?
because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
What role does wind and water play for sedimentary rocks?
weathering and erosion helps to build sedimentary layers then sedimentary rocks
How can igneos rocks become sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.

Why would you not find sedimentary rocks on the moon?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts. Weathering and erosion do not occur on the moon (except to a limited extent due to the impact of meteorites but this material is not compacted so is a dust rather than a rock) so sedimentary rocks can't form.
What kind of rocks are formed by weathering?
There are rocks which are known as weathered alteration rocks. But generally weathering leads to erosion. This eroded rock is called sediment, which can eventually form into sedimentary rocks.
What two processes change sediments into sedimentary rocks?
OK its simple WEATHERING AND EROSION.... there's your answer......
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
What types of rock can be changed to sedimentary rocks?
All types of rocks can be eroded by weathering, the erosion products settled out as sediment, and over time that sediment becomes sedimentary rocks.
