Are rocks sediments?
Technically rocks are not sediments, rather sediments are derived from weathered rock material. These sediments may conslidate and form rocks such as sandstones and mudstones, which include shales and siltstones. This variety of rock types is of sedimentary origin. Other types of rocks are formed by igneous and or metamorphic processes. Hope that answers your question.
What can you say about a rock that is composed of various sizes of sediments in a disorganized pattern?
It is a sedimentary rock, made from the sediments of other rocks...igneous or metamorphic, cemented together.
What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What is compacting rocks?
When rock compacts
What is nonclastic rock?
clastic rocks are rocks that are broken off other rocks or sediments of rocks and come from many rocks through erosion nonfoliated is the opposite
What kind of rock is formed from rocks sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
Is made of sediments an igneous rock characteristics?
No, rocks made of sediments are called sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock comes from volcanic activity -- lava and the like.
Why are rocks the color they are?
because of minerals and sediments in the rock
What kinds of rocks formed from sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
How does the rock cycle recycle rocks?
The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
What type of rock forms on earth s surface from pieces of other rocks?
The type of rock that forms on Earth's surface from pieces of other rocks is called sedimentary rock. These rocks are created through the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic material. Over time, these sediments are cemented together by minerals precipitated from water, forming solid rock layers. Common examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
