Sediments derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents are called .?
terrigenous or continental sediments

terrigenous or continental sediments
What is the sediment called that is derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents?
terrigenous sediment
What does sedimentary rock and igneous rock have in common?
Both are: composed of minerals, subject to weathering and erosion, can be visible on the surface, are derived from natural processes, and are solid. Some sedimentary rocks can be composed almost completely of sediments derived from igneous rock.
What class of minerals does anglesite belong to?
Anglesite is a lead sulphate derived from the weathering of lead ores.

What is the most abundant calcite-rich organic sedimentary rock?
Detrital sedimentary rocks. These are rocks consisting of sediments derived from the weathering and erosion of other rocks. Common examples are shale, sandstone and conglomerate.
What type of sediments are garnets in?
Sediments which are derived from some schist rock formations might contain garnet.
What areas are dimonds mined from?
Old Continental cratons with diatremes or in sediments derived from such.
What class of minerals does anglesite belong to?
Anglesite is a lead sulphate derived from the weathering of lead ores.
Are rocks sediments?
Technically rocks are not sediments, rather sediments are derived from weathered rock material. These sediments may conslidate and form rocks such as sandstones and mudstones, which include shales and siltstones. This variety of rock types is of sedimentary origin. Other types of rocks are formed by igneous and or metamorphic processes. Hope that answers your question.
Where does the rivers load come from?
Sediment derived from the weathering of rocks, and run-off from the land, being washed into the water.
Are plants in prescription drugs?
Some, but not all prescription drugs are derived from plant products. Examples include digoxin and warfarin. Likewise, some are derived from animal products as well.
Where did sedimentany rock come from?
Sediments (sand, clay, boulders etc) are derived from the erosion of preexisting rocks by snow, ice, water and wind. Eventually these sediments settle and are covered by more sediments. As the weight of overlying sediments builds up the pressure and minerals dissolved in and carried by groundwater cement the sediment particles together to form a new rock layer. This new rock is called a sedimentary rock.
