What else can I help you with?
What clues or characteristics do you look for i n order to identify sedimentary rocks?
== == Sedimentary rocks may exhibit strata, or layering. Sandstones will have visible sand grains. Limestones will fizz when placed in vinegar. Fossils usually only appear in sedimentary rocks. A rock made of an assortment of other rocks is usually sedimentary.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
How rocks are the same when they feel and look the same?
Rocks that feel and look the same likely share similar mineral composition and texture. Minerals present in the rock, as well as the way the rock formed (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), contribute to its appearance and feel. Thus, rocks that appear and feel the same are likely to be composed of similar minerals and have undergone similar geological processes.
What kind of rocks look as if they were made up of broken pieces of smaller rocks and shells?
Sedimentary rocks
What has the author Sam Boggs written?
Sam Boggs has written: 'Petrology of sedimentary rocks' -- subject(s): Sedimentary Rocks 'Petrology of sedimentary rocks' -- subject(s): Rocks, Sedimentary, Sedimentary Rocks
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
What is the general appearance of sedimentary rocks?
They look like perky nipples
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Why do scientists look to sedimentary rocks when studying the history of the Earth?
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
Which of the items in this list are clastic sedimentary rocks circle them?
To identify clastic sedimentary rocks, look for items such as sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of fragments from pre-existing rocks or minerals. In contrast, items like limestone or coal are not clastic sedimentary rocks, as they are formed from chemical processes or organic material, respectively. If you provide the specific list, I can help circle the clastic sedimentary rocks for you.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
