Sedimentary rocks are formed when eroded earth builds up
What else can I help you with?
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
What do sedimentary rocks form from?
Sedimentary rocks form from a few different things. Sedimentary rocks form from sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind and gravity.
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.
How are clastic sedimentary rocks different from organic sedimentary rocks?
they form
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Rocks that form when sediment cements and hardens together and hardens?
Sedimentary rocks.
What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?
Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
Why sedimentary rocks could not have been the first rocks on earth?
Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation of sediment such as sand, silt, or clay. For sedimentary rocks to form, there must be pre-existing rocks that weather and erode to produce sediment. Therefore, sedimentary rocks could not have been the first rocks on Earth as they require the presence of older rocks to form.
