Sedimentary rocks. Example, sandstone.
sedementary rocks
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
Sedimentary rocks. Example, sandstone.
Chemically formed sedimentary rocks are formed from dead remains of plants and animals that is from an organic sediment.
Sediment
Sedimentary Rocks are formed when when sediment peices from other rocks are put under pressure from Above and presses them into minerals Sources: Common Knowledge/Science class :bradleyss
Is it sediment being compressed until it becomes rock
Sedere literally means "to sit."Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition of sediment. In other words, sediment is deposited and "sits" forming these rocks.
Because the rocks are formed by using layers of Sediment.
Rock forms through three processes. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compression of sediment. Igneous rocks are formed when magma crystallizes after melting. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary and igneous rocks that have been subjected to pressure and heat .
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten lava or magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and compaction of sediment grains or by their chemical precipitation in water. For more information please see the related link.
