Which type of fossil forms when an organisms hard parts dissolve and leave a cavity that laters fills with sediment?
Cast
Does a zone of saturation form when air fills the pores in rock?
No, a zone of saturation forms when water fills the pires in rocks
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
An igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock when what occurs?
When an Igneous rock is broken down by physical processes it can become sediment, carried along rivers and waterways to reach the sea and the oceans. When upon the seabed, it is slowly covered by other sediment, and the combined force of the water above and sediment above working with sea mud and other sea deposits forms sedimentary rock.
When seas or lakes evaporate what type of sediment rock forms?
evaporites

Cast
Which forms first a fossil mold or a fossil cast?
First, a thin layer of sediment hardens and forms a mold. Then, what is known as a cast is when a new layer of sediment fills in the mold breaking down the creature/ animal/fossil.
What is a mold and cast fossil?
A mold and cast fossil is and exact stone replica of an organism but it is formed like this. The first layer of sediment hardens and forms a mold. then a new layer of sediment fills in the mold and hardens. That is the cast.

How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
hydrogenous sediment
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
Lithified detritus forms which kind of sedimentary rock?
When rock sediment is lithified, a sedimentary rock is formed. The two processes involved in lithification are compaction and cementation.
Does a zone of saturation form when air fills the pores in rock?
No, a zone of saturation forms when water fills the pires in rocks
What is the difference between a cast and a mold?
Casting requires that you apply a substance to a solid object in order to duplicate a shape. =) hi! Molding requires that you manipulate a substance so that you are literally creating a shape Molds are formed as empty spaces left in a rock when the soft parts of the organism decay and the hard parts are dissolved by chemicals. The mold takes the same shape as the organism. Cast, also known as filled-in molds, are formed when the mold is filled in another material forming a cast that has the same shape as the original organism.
What is a saturated solid?
forms a sediment when it sinks to the bottom of a liquid.
