Which type of rock provides the best evidence that Earth's environment has changed over time?
Sedimentary rock provides evidence of the different changes in the earth's environments. Evidence is deposited in layers which have characteristics of wet, dry, hot or cold climates.
Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
How are sedimentary rock used by scientists to learn about the past?
Sedimentary rock layers are used by scientist help learn by the texture and shapes
Where does sedimentary rock exist core crust or mantle?
Sedimentary rock covers much of the Earth's crust.
