Which sedimentary rocks are derived from weathered particles?
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.
What are sedimentray rocks made of?
Rocks that are formed from preexisting rocks that have been weathered. After the rocks are broken down they are then transported and deposited on the floor of lakes or oceans, and then are litchi field.
Sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
How are layered rocks formed?
Rock layers are formed by sedimentation. Existing rocks weather and erode, are deposited, covered with additional sediments, compacted and cemented together by the precipitation of minerals from the fluids between the particles. There are other instances where layers can be created, such as repeated volcanic eruptions, but the bulk of rock layers are sedimentary in origin.
What is sedimentary rock formed from?
weathered remains of other rocks
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from weathered particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What type of sedimentary rock forms from weathered particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
How does sand have rocks and minerals?
Sand is formed from particles of weathered and eroded rock and minerals.
Why is clay sedimentary?
Clay is formed from rocks by those rocks being weathered to minute particles, those particles being washed in a river and then deposited. As clay is formed of these "sediments" it is sedimentary.
What type of sedimentary rocks forms from weathering particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What type of rocks are formed from other rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of particles of weathered and eroded or fragmented in situ rocks of varying mineralogy.
Particles of weathered rocks are also called?
sediment
Which sedimentary rocks are derived from weathered particles?
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.
Are igneous rocks made when layers of weathered rocks or soil is compacted?
No that is a metamorphic rock
How do small particles form sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the layering of materials, as new layers are added, they compress the lower layers which eventually physically adhere together.
What are sedimentray rocks made of?
Rocks that are formed from preexisting rocks that have been weathered. After the rocks are broken down they are then transported and deposited on the floor of lakes or oceans, and then are litchi field.
What is the raw material in which sedimentary rocks are formed?
weathered remains of other rocks
