sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.

What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?

Sedimentary rocks.


What kind of rock is formed form sediments?

Sedimentary rock.


Where do sedimentary rocks form and what processes are involved in their formation?

Sedimentary rocks form at or near the Earth's surface through the accumulation and compression of sediments. These sediments can come from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks, as well as from the remains of plants and animals. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.


What conditions do sedimentary rocks form?

Sedimentary rocks form when sediments such as sand, mud, and organic material are compacted and cemented together over time. These sediments can accumulate in various environments such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and even on land. After burial and compaction, the sediments undergo lithification to become sedimentary rocks.


What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?

the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks


Water erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?

sedimentary rocks :)


What form stalactites?

Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.


How the igneous rocks change?

Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.


Sedimentary rocks form when layers of small particles are compressed?

Yes, sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which are small particles derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks. Over time, these sediments are buried, compacted, and cemented together to create sedimentary rocks.


What processes form stalactites?

When rocks undergo weathering they become what type of rock?

When rocks undergo weathering, they can form sedimentary rocks. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller sediments, which then get compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.


Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?

Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
