What else can I help you with?
Do sedimentary rocks come from the center of the earth?
No. Sedimentary rocks form relatively close to the surface. No rocks that we have access to come from the planet's center.
What kinds of rocks did the sand come from at Great Sand Dunes?
Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
The orgin of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks come from the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
Where did sediment come from?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
What are sedimentary rocks of weathered rock fragments called?
Sedimentary rocks made of weathered rock fragments are called clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of fragments that have been weathered, eroded, and transported from their original source. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Where sediment come from?
Sediments come from the erosion of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
What is a sentence with igneous sedimentary and metamorphic?
Igneous, sedimentaty and metamorphic are all types of rocks. You would just write sentences to describe each, like "Igneous rocks come from volcanoes" and "Sedimentary rocks come from sediment."
Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.
Where does sedimentary rock come from originally?
A sedimentary rock is made from the products of the erosion of other rocks. These could be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. If you wish to know the original rock from which sedimentary and metamorphic rocks came from, you have to go back to when the Earth formed. In this case, the answer would be an igneous rock.
What type of rock can be the source of deposited sediments?
Sedimentary rocks such as shale, sandstone, and limestone can be the source of deposited sediments through the process of weathering and erosion. These rocks are broken down into smaller pieces that are transported and eventually deposited to form new sedimentary layers.
