What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
How are magma and sediment alike?
They are not alike: magma is the semi-molton rock layer that forms the mantle. Examples of sediment are the silt (mud) that has dropped out of water to settle on the bottom of rivers or sea; and layers of slate (compressed silt), limestone (the remains of microscopic shelled creatures) and sandstone (compressed sand grains).
Are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
What are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
Rocks that have layers or clasts were formed by what?
Is it sediment being compressed until it becomes rock

Is a sediment and magma rock the same?
No. Sedimentary rock forms when broken bits of rock get compressed and cemented together. Igneous or "magma" rock forms when molten rock cools and solidifies, essentially freezing.
Why does gravity cause layers of sediment to be horizontal?
As more sediment is added, it is compressed and hardens into rock layers.
What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
hydrogenous sediment
Are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
What are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
What became compressed to form limestone?
Sediment. Sediment is eroded igneous, metamorphic or other sedimentary rock. This is all part of the rock cycle.
Rocks that have layers or clasts were formed by what?
Is it sediment being compressed until it becomes rock
What type of sediment forms from mineral that crystallize from seawater?
not a hydrogenous sediment?
Does sediment that is pushed underground forms sedimentary rock?
no they do not
