Can a sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?
it gets weathered into sediment, then it gets washed into the ocean, sediment layers up over millions of years, and it gets squashed into sedimentery rock, then metamorphic and so on.
The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together is called?
The process that presses sediments together is compaction. Thick layers of sediment build up gradually over millions of years. These heavy layers press down on the layers beneath them. The weight of new layers further compacts the sediments, squeezing them tightly together. The layers often remain invisible in sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
What can pressure in cement layers of eroded sediment into rock?
DINGOES
Clay minerals cement layers of sediment together to form what?
Rogd

How are sedimentary formed?
when the bits of the rocks get deposited it forms layers after many years these layers of sediment gets cementated which means gets squashed and compacted which means gets glued and they forms in to sedimentary rocks.thanks for reading

How do cays form?
A Cay is formed when Ocean currents loose sediments as they pass over reefs Gradually layers of deposited sediment build up on the surface of the reefs
What are the layers of a mountain?
Crust
Why does gravity cause layers of sediment to be horizontal?
As more sediment is added, it is compressed and hardens into rock layers.
What happens to sediment after it has been cemented together by age?
sedimentation happens when all different things gather and make different layers and colours in the rock or mountains :D
Which thick layers of sediment press down on the layers beneath them is called?
:D
Where are the oldest layers of sediments located?
The oldest layers of undisturbed sediment are at the bottom.
What happens to sediments during deposition?
It gets transported from one place to another
The squeezing of layers of sediment is called?
compaction
