Loose rock material is called detritus.
What else can I help you with?
What types of materials can make sediments?
The types of material are: loose pieces of rocks, minerals, pieces of plant and animal remians.
What are two hazards if outdoor rock climbing?
ice and loose rocks
What materials do you get from the Earth?
it is the materials on the periodic table and rocks such as ignous rocks sedimentry and metamorphic rocks and many many more!
What is unconsolidated?
Unconsolidated refers to rock or sediment material that has not been lithified, meaning it has not been compacted and cemented together. Unconsolidated materials are loose and can include things like sand, gravel, and clay.
Why are radioactive materials used to date rocks rocks?
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
Why haven't there been reports of diamonds in kimberlite pipe rocks?
Diamonds are found as loose stones, or can be embedded in other materials, including kimberlite. See the linked photo, below.
What is it called when rocks that are compacted and cemented together to form a solid rock?
The process of rocks compacting and cementing together to form a solid rock is called lithification. During this process, loose sediment or other rock materials are transformed into sedimentary rocks through pressure and mineral precipitation.
What is solid rocks?
Solid rocks are compacted and hard materials composed of minerals and other substances. They are formed through the process of lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of loose sediments or the recrystallization of existing rocks. Solid rocks make up the majority of the Earth's crust and can be classified into three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Are Volcanic rocks metal?
No. Volcanic rocks are made of the same materials that other rocks are.
Loose grains of rocks matieral is called?
Sand.
Of the following the only process NOT involved in the making of clastic rocks is what?
Crystallization is not involved in the making of clastic rocks. Clastic rocks are formed through the accumulation and cementation of loose rock fragments, called clasts, through processes like weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition. Crystallization typically refers to the formation of crystals from a liquid or gas, and is more commonly associated with the formation of igneous or metamorphic rocks.
What are sedimentary rocks formed by?
When older rocks, plants, and other loose material get pressed or cemented together
