Lithification
What else can I help you with?
What is the process that forms sedimentary rock that starts with the letter L?
Lithification.
When a sedimentary rock melts and solidifies what rock forms?
When a sedimentary rock melts, it forms an igneous rock upon solidification. This process involves the sedimentary rock going through changes in temperature and pressure, causing it to melt and re-crystallize into an igneous rock.
Is conglomerate an igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat or pressure it forms what?
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat and pressure, it forms metamorphic rock. This process is known as metamorphism, where the existing rock undergoes changes in mineral composition and texture without melting.
What type of rock forms in layers?
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
What is a rock that forms when sediments are cemented or compacted together?
It is called sedimentary rock.
Weathered rock materials are pressed and cemented to form?
That forms sedimentary rock.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
The type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together is called "clastic sedimentary rock." These rocks are created from the compaction and cementation of loose particles like sand, silt, and clay. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
What type of rock forms from layering of eroded rock?
Sedimentary rock forms from the layering of eroded rock material, which accumulates and undergoes compaction and cementation over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
What is a rock that forms when the particles are compacted and cemented together?
A sedimentary rock is formed when loose particles, such as sand or clay, are compressed and cemented together over time. This process occurs through the accumulation and lithification of sediments.
Write the terms in the correct order in the flowchart to show how a clastic sedimentary rock forms?
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
