What else can I help you with?
What process changes solid rocks into sediments?
erosion
Which changes sediments into sediment rocks?
compaction and cementation
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
True or false weathering changes metamorphic rock to sediments?
False. Weathering breaks down rocks into sediments, which can then undergo the process of sedimentation and lithification to form sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed through the process of metamorphism, which involves high pressure and temperature altering existing rocks without changing them into sediments.
Describe the changes that occur in the rock cycle?
In the rock cycle, rocks change into differant types of rocks over time. For example, igneous rocks might break into sediments that form sedimentary rocks.
All rocks are made of sediments?
Not all rocks are, only sedimentary rocks are truly made up of sediments. Some metamorphic rocks do because they are formed when heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rocks, which makes sediments the basis of these rocks as well
What is the process that changes rock into sedimemts?
Weathering and erosion are the processes that change rocks into sediments. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these sediments to new locations where they can accumulate. Over time, compaction and cementation turn these sediments into sedimentary rocks.
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
Which process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion of the weather materials, their transport and deposition as new sediments.
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What is the stratification of sediments and rocks?
Stratification refers to the layering of sediments and rocks based on differences in composition or grain size. It occurs as sediments are deposited over time by processes like water or wind, with each layer representing a distinct period of deposition. These layers can provide valuable information about the Earth's history and environmental changes.
What are rocks made from sediments called?
Sedimentary rocks.
