Pressure of water and other sediments.
A sedimentary rock is weathered by wind and water The rock breaks down into sediments again If the sediments become cemented what type of rock will be formed?
sedimentary rock
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
What rock is a sedimentary rock formed from?
Sedimentary rock is so named because it is formed from sediments. The sediments could be particles of rock, sand, minerals, or organic material.
