What else can I help you with?
What is the look and feel of sedimentary rocks?
the look and feel of sedimentary rocks are sometimes hard and smooth or hard and rough
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What causes sedimentary rocks to change into hard rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
What has the author Sam Boggs written?
Sam Boggs has written: 'Petrology of sedimentary rocks' -- subject(s): Sedimentary Rocks 'Petrology of sedimentary rocks' -- subject(s): Rocks, Sedimentary, Sedimentary Rocks
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Are arrowheads made from sedimentary rocks?
Arrowheads are typically made from harder rocks like flint, obsidian, or chert, which are not sedimentary rocks. These hard rocks were preferred for arrowhead-making because they can hold a sharp edge and withstand repeated use. Sedimentary rocks are generally too soft to be suitable for making arrowheads.
Is lime stone hard rock?
Yes, limestone is considered a hard rock. It is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate minerals. While not as hard as igneous rocks like granite, limestone is still durable and commonly used in construction and as a building material.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.
What material forms earth's hard surface?
The Earth's hard surface is primarily composed of rocks and minerals. These rocks can be classified into three main groups: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten magma, sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are formed through the alteration of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature.
