nothing
How do Sedimentary rocks formed and what are they made of?
Sedimantary RocksThese rocks are formed from th ehot lavaJk jk i was bored i dont reall know what they mean and i real HATE STAaR
Which rock is formed when particles stick together?
The rock formed when particles stick together is called Sedimentary Rock. The type of this rock depends on the composition and texture of the particles sticking together.
Why do noodels stick together after they are cooked?
Noodles stick together after they are cooked because of the starch, Eg: When rice is cooked is sticks together.
What are some igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks are made from magma. Magma is made of melted rocks. (When it is underground it is called magma, when it erupts on the surface of the earth, it is called lava. It's the same material though.) When magma/lava cools, it forms igneous rocks. There are many types of igneous rocks and the specific type of igneous rock can vary according to which minerals are present in the melted rock, how fast it cools, and the presence of things like water. Sedimentary rocks are made out of tiny pieces of debris. This can include tiny rocks, sand, clay, silt, and organic material. (Organic materials can vary from rotted leaves to tiny, shelled ocean creatures, or many other types of organic material.) These bits of material collect in an area, then through compaction and cementation, they stick together to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed when minerals are dissolved in water and are then resolidified. This type of sedimentary rock is called a chemical sedimentary rock. Oolitic limestone is a good example of this type of sedimentary rock.
What type of sedimentary rock forms when sediments stick together?

What is a type of rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Breccia
How do sedimentry rock form?
sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments have pressure put on them and they stick together x
What are two reasons the particles in a sedimentary rock stick together?
Compression due to pressure from overlying sediments and the presence of cementing substances such as clay and/or iron.
What causes sediments to stick together?
Pressure. :)
How does rock fragments turn into rock?
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
What two processes play a role in forming sedimentary rocks?
The process of lithification changes rocks into sediments. This process is broken up into two parts: cementation and compaction. In cementation, the substance crystallizes, or fills in the spaces between loose particles of sediment. In compaction, the sediments are squeezed together by the weight of layers on top of them.
Sediment forms layers pressure from water and top layers over thousands of years cause lower layers to stick together and to form what?
Sedimentary rocks
What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)

How does a sedimentary rock contain pieces of igneous rocks?
Igneous rock pieces can stick together through cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
