What else can I help you with?
What is a metamorphic rockformed from limestone?
Marble
Rock and soil deposited by streams are called?
Sediments.
What are the sediments called that are deposited directly by a glacier?
Sediments directly deposited by the glacier are called till.
Sediments derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents are called?
terrigenous or continental sediments
What is a small rock called?
The smallest type of rock is a pebble. A pebble can be made out of most rocks and is the size of a marble.
When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them what is it called?
pp
What are sediments produced by plants and animals in the sea called?
Sediments produced by plants and animals in the sea are called biogenic sediments. These sediments are composed of organic remains, such as shells, corals, and skeletal debris, which accumulate on the seafloor over time.
What is it called when sediments are squeeze by the weight of overlying sediments?
The process of sediments being squeezed by the weight of overlying sediments is called "compaction." This occurs during the lithification of sedimentary rocks, where the pressure from the accumulating layers compresses the sediments, reducing their volume and expelling water. Compaction is a key step in transforming loose sediments into solid rock.
What are bits of rock called?
sediments
What is the process of pressing sediments called?
The process of pressing sediments together to form solid rock is called compaction. It occurs when layers of sediment accumulate on top of each other, with the weight of the overlying layers causing the sediments to be pressed tightly together.
The process that presses sediments together is called?
the process that presses sedimants together is called?
What type of sediments are garnets in?
Sediments which are derived from some schist rock formations might contain garnet.
