Fossils abound in sedimentary rock, you are in fact very likely to find them there.
The formation of a clastic sediment and sedimentary rocks involves five processes: 1. weathering 2. erosion 3. transportation 4. deposition 5. lithification
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks get transformed into metamorphic and eventually igneous rocks in deep earth's crust.
Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic.
All these factor break down rock into sediment The process of wearing away rocks by natuarl processes is called weathering
Biochemical sedimentary rocks.
The physical processes important in transforming sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks are, Pressure, Temperature, Stress, Depth of burial and Metasomatism.
The type of sediment that undergoes the most compaction as it lithifies to sedimentary rocks is marine mud. Lithification refers to the process wherein sediments compact under pressure.
The rock cycle
mechanical , chemical and organic
evaporation and precipitation.
Biochemical sedimentary rocks form from sediment derived by biological processes. A type of sedimentary rock primarily comprising deposits resulting.
Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.
