Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment deposits (gravel, sand, silt, clay) over long periods of time either on land or in water (lakes, oceans). As more and more sedimentary layers are deposited, the newer layers exert pressure on the older layers, which compacts the loose particles and cements them together - forming sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed through the precipitation of dissolved minerals to form limestone or dolomite.
What else can I help you with?
What two rocks are formed by calcite deposits and sand sediments?
Sandstone And Limestone
What are flat deposits of rocks called?
Flat deposits of rocks are called sedimentary layers or strata. These layers are formed over time through the accumulation and compaction of sediments.
How are sedamentic rocks formed?
the sedamentic rocks formed on the gradual accumulation of sediments.
How are sedimentary rocks formed by?
by sediments
How is sedimenary rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the earths surface when sediments hardens into rocks :]
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What type of rocks are formed when sediments are compacted over time?
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rock is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water?
Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water. Examples of sedimentary rocks that can form in this way include limestone, shale, and sandstone. These rocks are typically composed of particles that have been weathered, transported, and compacted over time.
Water erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?
sedimentary rocks :)
What types of rocks may be deposited sediments?
Sedimentary rocks are primarily formed from deposited sediments, which can include fragments of igneous, metamorphic, and older sedimentary rocks. These sediments are transported by water, wind, or ice and accumulate in layers over time. Common types of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale, which are formed from sand, biological materials, and clay, respectively. Additionally, volcanic ash can also contribute to sedimentary deposits.
What kinds of rocks formed from sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
How does till form?
Formed when a mixture of sediments that a glacier deposits directly on the surface
