How are sedimentary rocks classified?
classified by weathering
How can igneos rocks become sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
Are sedimentary rocked by the weathering of other rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones). Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).
Which sedimentary rocks are derived from weathered particles?
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.
What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
What kind of rocks are caused by weathering?
The most common rock that experiences weathering, is sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic and Igneous are unlikey to.
What rocks are caused by weathering?
Sedimentary rocks.
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
what is the first step for formation in. sedimentary rocks?
Weathering
Which kinds rocks are caused by weathering?
sedimentary rocks
What is causing the breakdown of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks, when exposed on the surface, is exposed to weathering.
What causes sedimentary rocks to change into hard rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
How are sedimentary rocks classified?
classified by weathering
What role does wind and water play for sedimentary rocks?
weathering and erosion helps to build sedimentary layers then sedimentary rocks
How can igneos rocks become sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
What type of sedimentary rocks forms from weathering particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
Why aren't there any sedimentary rocks on the moon?
because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
