In sedimentation what order do the layers settle in?
Oldest at the bottom, newest at the top. OR Largest particles first, finest particles last.
What is the correct order of layers that a space shuttle goes through when landing on the Earth?
the world may neva no
Where are the youngest layers of rock found?
In any given region, the youngest rocks are found closest to the surface. Stratigraphy, the study of layers, tracks each event during which rocks are laid down whether through sedimentation, volcanic activity or metamorphosis.
Why are sedimentary rocks formed in layers?
Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock pieces are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
Why did the earth form layers?

Process that leads to mountain building?
by sedimentation because amountain has various layers
What is the word that means sand or particles settle out of wind or water and form layers?
The word you are looking for is "sedimentation." Sedimentation is the process by which sand or particles settle out of wind or water and form layers or deposits over time.
How did they measure temperature in the past?
They estimate it based on the thickness of sedimentation, the types of gases found in glaciers, the thickness of annual snowfall in glacier samples, and what kind of plant or animal life is found in different layers of sedimentation.
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
What is the correct order of layers that a space shuttle goes through when landing on the Earth?

How are layered rocks formed?
Rock layers are formed by sedimentation. Existing rocks weather and erode, are deposited, covered with additional sediments, compacted and cemented together by the precipitation of minerals from the fluids between the particles. There are other instances where layers can be created, such as repeated volcanic eruptions, but the bulk of rock layers are sedimentary in origin.
Is sedimentation deposition?
Sediment is often deposited as the tide rises and falls. As the incoming and outgoing water crosses the beach or banks, sediments are deposited.
What is the different between sedimentation and flotation?
Sedimentation is the measure of the (simple)movement of solids ,or the time (rate) of movement of undisolved material (solids) , in a column of water or other fluid ( as in sedimentation rate). Flotation is a quality of matter that is less dense than the fluid on which it is suspended . Both solids and liquids float, with liquids forming patches or layers atop the more dense sustrate.
What is the layer of sediment called?
It is called sedimentation.
