Ripple marks in rocks are formed by?
They initially are formed by moving water which arranges sediment in patterned formations. If the ripples in the sediment are covered with other sediments before being obliterated, or if the ripple marks dry, and are then covered with subsequent sediments, they may eventually be preserved in the rock strata.
Which step in the rock cycle occurs before sediments are laid down?
The step right before is when erosion breaks down rock.
What rocks are sedimentary rocks made from?
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to fossils. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ants, etc. before they are lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.
In what type of rocks are most are fossils found?
Rarely a fossil may appear in metamorphic or igneous rock, but the vast majority of fossil evidence presents itself in sedimentary rock. Remains or evidences of life are often preserved by being covered in sediments before decaying or being consumed by predators. The sediments may turn to rock through the process of lithification over time, leaving a record of their presence.-----------------------------------------------------Fossils will be found mainly in sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compression and cementation of sediments over millions of years. Organisms that die on, in, or near a body of water have a better chance of becoming fossils due to the fact that fossilization requires that the organism be covered relatively quickly in sediments. Once covered in sediments, some of these remains remain intact and can be discovered to have formed fossils or fossilized remains within the layers of the rock. Shale is a particularly good rock for this to occur in, and some limestones like chalk, are composed almost entirely of fossilized marine animal remains.
What are chromosomes and genes composed of?
Genes are composed of DNA. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins. Genes are the sections of DNA which code for a functional product (such as a protein). Chromosomes are the compact, tightly-coiled form of DNA. These appear before the cell undergoes division/replication.
What happens to to sediments after a few million years?
no

What can form fossils before sediments harden into rock?
Coral reef.
Before the cracker was put in the mouth it was composed prinarily of?
The composed of a cracker before hitting the mouth is amylase. This is science.
Which step in the rock cycle occurs before sediments are laid down?
The step right before is when erosion breaks down rock.
What must sediments that are eroded and deposited go through before becoming a sedimentary rock?
cementation
Which year was awara hoon composed?
awaara was released in 1952. The song was composed that year or the year before
Which step in the rock cycle occurs immediately before sediments are laid down?
The step right before is when erosion breaks down rock.
What do rippled marks in sedimentary rocks indicate?
That there was either water or wind affecting the sediments before they were lithified.
Most river sediments are deposited?
They are deposited at the river mouth, before it finally empties its water into the ocean.
