What else can I help you with?
Does wind weather rocks mechanically or chemically?
Mechanically
How do you classify rocks?
Geologists classify rocks by looking at their chemical and mineralogical composition then at the the size and shape of their component minerals then at any texture, pattern or grain that the rocks may display. They also classify them in relation to how they were formed.
What is mechanically formed sedimentary rock?
Mechanically formed sedimentary rock is composed of particles that are eroded, transported, and deposited by wind, water, or ice. These particles are compacted and cemented together to form rocks such as sandstone, conglomerate, and shale. This type of sedimentary rock is characterized by its clastic composition, meaning it is made up of broken fragments of pre-existing rocks.
What are rock groups that are classified as clastic sedimentary rocks?
Some examples of clastic sedimentary rocks include sandstone, conglomerate, shale, and breccia. These rocks are formed from the accumulation of fragments of pre-existing rocks and minerals, which are then compacted and cemented together over time.
What types of sedimentary rocks are there?
The main types of sedimentary rocks are clastic (formed from fragments of other rocks), chemical (formed from minerals precipitated from water), and organic (formed from the remains of once-living organisms). Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
What are the types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic and nonclastic
Are sedimentary rocks chemically weathered?
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
What is the type of weathering that mechanically breaks down rocks?
Erosion
How rocks are mechanically weathered.?
Frost Wedging hiya kids!=)
What are three ways sedimentary rocks can form?
Biologically, Chemically and Mechanically.
List three major groups of sedimentary rock?
Clastic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of mineral and rock fragments that are cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks: Formed from precipitation of minerals dissolved in water. Organic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of organic material, such as plants or animals.
What are the natural Factors that breakdown rocks mechanically?
Magma. Water. Ice. Wind.
