Name the three types of rocks?
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are the three main types of rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten rock, sedimentary rocks from the accumulation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks from the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure.
Name 2 seimentary rocks?
Examples of sedimentary rock would be limestone and coal.
Name 3 sedimentary rocks?
1. Shale. 2. Sandstone. 3. Limestone.
Name 2 characteristics of each of the sedimentary rocks?
they are made at the bottom of the sea and they react with acid.
What are the two main types of sedimentary rocks?
The two main types of sedimentary rocks are clastic (detrital) rocks, which are made of pre-existing rock fragments cemented together, and chemical rocks, which form from minerals that precipitate out of solution.
What kind of rocks are formed by wind erosion?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from chemical and physical weathering of rock, their subsequent erosion and transportation to a place of deposit, and their lithification through compaction and cementation.
What are the types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic and nonclastic
What are 2 sedimentary rocks that contain dead organism?
Limestone and shale
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the action of?
1. Heat 2. Pressure 3. Denudation.
What are 2 things that can change rocks to other types of rocks?
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and composites. Igneous rocks are formed when sedimentary or composite rocks experience extremes of heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed when smaller particles are overlaid for extended periods of time. Composite rocks are formed a mixture of elements under pressure.
Which major group or groups of rocks are involved in the description of pathway 2?
Pathway 2 includes the major groups of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and consolidation of sediments, while metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks through heat and pressure. Both of these rock types are commonly involved in the rock cycle and can contribute to the formation of other rock types.
What two things do sedimentary rocks record?
Sedimentary rocks can record information about the environment in which they formed, such as the presence of water, wind, or ice. They can also preserve evidence of the organisms that lived in that environment, including fossils.
