What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
What role does wind and water play for sedimentary rocks?
weathering and erosion helps to build sedimentary layers then sedimentary rocks
Chemocal sedimentary rocks are made from?
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water.
Are sedimentary rocks made in water?
Sedimentary rocks are usually formed in water, but not always. Some sandstones, for example, form in deserts.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
The orgin of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks come from the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
Where do sedimentary rocks from?
Usually on the bottom of a body of water
What rocks form under water?
sedimentary
How does wind and water affect Sedimentary rocks?
noting
Crystalline sedimentary rocks?
All sedimentary rocks are made by of deposition of the products of erosion either on land or more usually in water. Crystalline sedimentary rocks can be produced by the evaporation of a brine.
What are the main sub-categories Sedimentary Rock?
The main sub-categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of fragments of pre-existing rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions. Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of organic materials, such as plant or animal remains.
