How minerals can form some rocks, the color, and texture
What type of dissolved minerals glue particles into one mass?
The minerals that precipitate from fluids to cement particles together to form sedimentary rocks could be calcite, quartz, clay, or iron minerals.
What type of sedimentary rocks forms from weathering particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What type of sedimentary rocks forms when particles of minerals and rocks are cemented together?
