How is sediment?
The sediment transport by the rock cycle
What is the difference between lithification and crystallization?
Lithification is a Complex process whereby loose grains of sediment are converted into rock . Crystallization is the formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase :)
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the what of the rock or sediment?
The permeability.
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
Is the difference between metamorphic rock igneous rock and sedimentary rock?
L
Why is there a difference between rocks?
The difference lies in the method of the rock's creation (melting, sediment, pressure), and the elements available when and where it forms.

What Is the difference between sediment and sediment?
in sedimentation there are particles and circumstance that allow these particles sedimented bud in participation there are not any particle and there is a sepration between cations and anions.
How does one clastic detrital sedimentary rock have a texture and composition different than another?
The difference would lie in the origin of the sediment and largely on the distance the sediment traveled.
What is created as a result of the moving of rock and sediments?
The ultimate creation of moving rock and sediment is a sediment deposit. Sediment deposits can eventually lithify into sedimentary rock.
What is a stratified aquifer?
It is where a layer of underground water is sandwiched between layers of sediment and rock.
How do you know a rock if whether it's a sediment rock or not?
you can tell if its a sediment rock if you can feel different elements of sand or pebbles

How do rock layers change?
Sediment layers are squeezed from above by the weight of overlying sediment, causing compaction. Compaction squeezes out air and water between the sediment particles. Minerals form as the air and water is squeezed out, cementing the particles together, and forming sedimentary rock.
What are the rock and soil deposits by streams called?
Sediment
