Exactly how long does it take natural gas to form? Exactly how long does it take natural gas to form?
What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Any rock can wear away to form sediment; be it sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
What is the best estimate of how long it took a thick layer of sedimentary rock to form?
The time it takes for a thick layer of sedimentary rock to form can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the depositional environment, the rate of sedimentation, and the type of sediment being deposited. In general, it can take anywhere from a few hundred to millions of years for a thick layer of sedimentary rock to form.
What is required to form a sedimentary rock?
sediment and time.
Is sediment easily washed away from erosion?
That IS erosion. When soil gets loose enough that seeds can't take, it is called eutropification, the worst form.
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.
Is a sediment a form of carbon?
yes a sediment is a form of carbon
What certain things that form sediment are considered an indicator species?
Protozoans form sediment and are considered an indicator species.
Where can sediment accumulate?
Sediment can accumulate at the mouths of rivers, usually in the form of deltas.
How are rocks made?
When pressure pushes down on sediment, the sediment turn solid because they have sat aside for a long time and the pressure builds up to form a rock.

What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Any rock can wear away to form sediment; be it sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
Over a long period of time the layers of sediment turn into?
It is sand. Edit: Over many thousands of years - sediment gets compressed and compacted into layers. The layers form rocks such as slate and coal.
