What is the sequence for sedimentary rocks?
Firstly the rocks are weathered and eroded from an area above ground. Then, they are usually transported down to the sea via rivers. Once they are deposited in the sea, a lot of different layers pile up on top of each other on the sea bed. The Layers are then buried deeper and compacted, to form a sedimentary rock. Hope this helped :)
Does sandy soil contain any rock particles?
Sand used to BE rock, before it was weathered and eroded.
When granite is weathered and eroded what rock does it become?
Sedimentary rock, it first forms tallus
What is the Rock Cycle at Yosemite?
At Yosemite, igneous rocks (granite) are being weathered and eroded. As the rock particles become smaller and smaller and are transported to a basin or point of deposition, they may eventually lithify into sedimentary rocks, probably shale.
What forms when rocks are weathered and eroded?
Sediment is formed when rocks are eroded or weathered in water. When the process occurs on land, the smaller pieces of rock mix with organic matter (plant, animal or spoor), and eventually become soil.
Where was the eroded material from the Canadian Shield deposited and what did this material become?
The eroded particles may be carried by water, wind or ice to other locations like the lowland regions or into the ocean and lakes.The eroded materials build up and under their own pressure gradually become hardened into sedimentary rock.
How can basalt become part of a sedimentary rock?
It has to first be eroded into relatively small particles (sediment) and then cemented together again.
How do rocks become sedimentary?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
How do sediments become sedimentary rocks?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
How do particles eroded by wind different from particles eroded by water?
winds can move sand on the ground in a rolling motion. andd idk what else i don't even thinks that's right haha (:
Placer deposits form when?
Heavy eroded particles settle out of moving water
Is delta weathering erosion deposition?
A delta is an area where a river enters a larger body of water. Weathered particles are eroded and then deposited when the momentum of the river slows down. So a delta has to start with weathered particles and then the particles have to be eroded and then they are deposited. So a delta does involve all of these processes.
How does a igneous rock turn into an sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock, when exposed, will weather into smaller particles by mechanical and chemical means. Eventually the particles will be eroded and be transported by wind, water, ice, and gravity and eventually be deposited along with other sediments in a low lying area; could be the bottom of a sea, ocean or lake. As further and further sedimentation and accretion occur, the weight of overlying sediments compacts the particles, squeezing out air and water. Minerals then can bridge the gaps between particles, cementing them together into sedimentary rock.
How does sand have rocks and minerals?
Sand is formed from particles of weathered and eroded rock and minerals.
Placer deoosits form when?
They form when heavy eroded particles settle out of moving water.
Is there a common place where granite is found?
Granite is found on the continents in areas where the Earth's crust has been deeply eroded. The most common place to find granite would be anywhere overlying rock and sediment have eroded away the material above plutons causing granite to be exposed at the surface.
Particles of clay and silt eroded and deposited by the wind are called .?
Either Aeolian deposits, or Loess.
