cementation
What else can I help you with?
Does cementation help create both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rock?
No. Cementation is the process of rock clasts or sediments being joined by the precipitation of cementing minerals, usually quartz, calcite, or iron to create a sedimentary rock. Metamorphic rock is the alteration of existing rock due to heat and pressure.
Does heat help create both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rock?
Heat plays a key role in the formation of metamorphic rock by altering existing rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions. However, heat is not as critical in the formation of sedimentary rock, which primarily forms through the accumulation and compaction of sediment over time.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rock to sedimentary rocks?
Denudation, Weathering, Erosion, Diagnesis.
What is the main type of energy used to help converts rocks in metamorphic rocks in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks
How are rocks classified into one of these three groups?
Rocks are classified into three groups based on how they are formed. Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and crystallizes. Sedimentary rock is formed when the products of weathering and erosion are compacted and cemented to form new rock. Metamorphic rock is formed when existing rock is changed by heat, pressure or chemical change into a new kind of rock.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
Igneous rocks are classified based on mineral composition and texture, metamorphic rocks are classified by texture and mineral composition, and sedimentary rocks are primarily classified by their grain size and composition. These classifications help scientists understand the origin and characteristics of each type of rock.
How can you distinguish between sedimentary and metamorphic coal?
Anthracite coal is a metamorphic coal that has a higher luster than any sedimentary coals. It also has the highest carbon content. Otherwise it is very similar to sedimentary coal. Diamond is commonly thought to be the metamorphism of coal but this is largely untrue as the immense majority (near 100%) of diamonds have nothing to do with coal.
What are three types of rock formations explain how each of the three is formed?
the three rocks are igneous ,metamorphic and sedimentary i don't know what it is made up of but that is what i trying to figure out can someone help me please
How is it possible that a sedimentary rocks change into marble?
It is possible for a sedimentary rock to become marble through the effects of environmental conditions such as pressure and temperature. They help to alter the structural and textural characteristics of the rock thereby changing it form and appearance. Limestone is a common sedimentary rock that is transformed in Marble which is a metamorphic rock. The process of changing a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock is called Metamorphism.
What processes at a divergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
The process of upwelling magma is found a divergent boundaries. As this magma nears the surface it decompresses, and some of it flows onto the surface of the Earth as lava. Magma that solidifies beneath the surface of the Earth hardens into gabbro while lava on the surface of the Earth hardens into basalt. Both of these are igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the heat flowing from the igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the sediments collecting in the basins created from rifting (that is, the divergent boundaries). Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are not considered to be formed at divergent boundaries.
Is dolomite clastic or non clastic sedimentary rock?
dolomite is a MINERAL. it is NOT considered a sedimentary rock of any kind. sedimentary rocks are composed of minerals, fragments or particles of other rocks(sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous) and/or organic material, and may or may not contain dolomite. to help you understand: if you think of dolomite as a pure element, then sedimentary rocks are mixtures of different elements
