What kind of rock is formed from sediments being cemented together?
sedimentary rock
What kind of rock is formed when rock is broken down and pressed together?
sedimentary
When rock is weathered and later pressed into layers what kind of rock is formed?
sedimentary
What is the uniformitarian explanation for how most sedimentary rocks formed?
According to uniformitarians, sediments are laid down slowly over millions of years. Eventually, conditions change and the sediments harden to form rocks. The conditions during which the sediments were laid down determine the type of sediment, which in turn determines the kind of rock formed.
What kind of sedimentary rock is shale?
The sediments that eventually formed the rock shale were generally still water clay and mud particles.
What kind of rock is formed from sediments being cemented together?
sedimentary rock
What kind of rock is formed when rock is broken down and pressed together?
sedimentary
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is formed from rocks sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What kind of rocks is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water?
Sedimentary rock
When rock is weathered and later pressed into layers what kind of rock is formed?
sedimentary
What kind of sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottoms of lakes and oceans?
sedimentary rock formed by weathering and erosion

Dissolved minerals cement sediments together what kind of rock?
limestone, it's made of compreessed shells in the ocean.
What kind of sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottoms of lakes or oceans?
The rock formed would usually be classified as clastic sedimentary rock, like shale.
What kind of rock is made when rock minerals and remains of living things are made when these sediments are cemented together?
sedimentary rock
What kind of rocks are formed when bits and pieces of other rocks are compacted?
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
