What are Erosional landforms formed by groundwater?
caves
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rock's but not the formation of metamorphic rock's?
mountain building
Is graphite a clastic rock or a non clastic rock?
niether. Graphite is a mineral, not a rock.
. Which is a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock?
Compaction
How do clastic rocks differ from non clastic rocks in terms of process of formation?
Clastic rocks are composed of broken pieces of older rocks that have been broken up by the process of weathering and are therefore sedimentary in nature. The "clasts" (bits of older rock) may vary in size.
What three steps are involved in clastic rock formation?
Deposition, compaction, and cementation are the three steps needed to create a clastic rock formation. Clastic rock is made out fragments of other rocks.
A major process in the formation of clastic sedimentary rock is?
Cementation
What are the steps or processes that lead to sedimentary rock formation?
Sedimentary rock can form in more than one way. The majority of sedimentary rock is clastic sedimentary rock, formed from the weathering and erosion of existing rock. The steps in its formation are listed below. Steps 4 and 5 are often listed together as the process of lithification.Weathering of pre-existing rock into smaller pieces.Erosion and transportation of weathered rock particles (sediments).Deposition of eroded sediments.Compaction of deposited sediments.Cementation of compacting sediments.For further explanation of sedimentary rock formation, see the related question below.
Which is not a process involved in formation of sedimentary rock?
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
What are Erosional landforms formed by groundwater?
caves
What are three main processes involved in clastic rock formation?
The three processes are deposition of the particles or clasts, compaction from overburden and lithostatic pressure, and cementation of the particles by the precipitation of minerals out of the solution which surrounds the particles.
What is the type of sedimentary rock feature found in Capitol Reef National Park and in what formation could it be found?
clastic
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rock's but not the formation of metamorphic rock's?
mountain building
Is the rock breccia a clastic rock?
Breccias are a relatively common clastic sedimentary rock.
Is graphite a clastic rock or a non clastic rock?
niether. Graphite is a mineral, not a rock.
Lithified detritus forms which kind of sedimentary rock?
When rock sediment is lithified, a sedimentary rock is formed. The two processes involved in lithification are compaction and cementation.
What type of rock is made of previously existing rock whose formation does not involve high temperature and pressure?
Clastic sedimentary rock is a product of the weathering, erosion, and diagenesis of pre-existing rock.
