What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
What can you say about a rock that is composed of various sizes of sediments in a disorganized pattern?
It is a sedimentary rock, made from the sediments of other rocks...igneous or metamorphic, cemented together.
What are the 5 steps for an igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock?
Weathering and ErosionDepositionCompactionLithificationCementationThose are the five steps for an igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock!
How sediments can become igneous rock?
The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
How are igneous rocks broken down into sediments?
rock cycle
When layers of sediments are pressed together form.?
Igneous rock
How can an igneous rock change into a sedimentary rock over millions of years?
When an igneous rock is eroded by rain, wind, etc. the small grains and dust are swept into streams and rivers. Eventually they are deposited in lakes, seas or oceans. After a long time these sediments build up and are covered by later sediments. Due to compaction from overlying sediments they gradually turn into a rock, a sedimentary rock.
How would a metamorphic rock become an igneous rock?
by the lava melting the rock and cooling then peaces of rocks and sediments are pushed together to form an igneous rock
In the rock cycle the process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock must begin with?
The process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle begins with weathering and erosion of the igneous rock, breaking it down into sediments. These sediments are then transported and deposited, where they are compacted and cemented together to form a sedimentary rock over time.
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called what?
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called sediments.
What kind of rock does not require heat to form?
Sedimentary rock. Because when weathering and erosion occurs to igneous rock, the igneous become sediments and the sediments condense and cool, forming sedimentary rock. Therefore, sedimentary rock doesn't need heat to form.
What 2 processes can change igneous and metamorphic rock into sediments?
Erosion
