What kind of rock has layers and is made from small grain?
That is correct. A detrital (or "clastic") sedimentary rock is formed by sediment grains that have been weathered and eroded by existing rocks and then deposited as layers.
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock pieces are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
The sedimentary rock formed when water deposits tiny particles of clay in very thin flat layers is .?
The sedimentary rock formed from tiny particles of clay in thin, flat layers is called shale. I hope this was helpful:)
What kind of sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottoms of lakes or oceans?
The rock formed would usually be classified as clastic sedimentary rock, like shale.
What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
What rock formed in layers?

Why was sedimentary rock named sedimentary rock?

When sediment is deposited in layers what rock is formed?

What type of rock is formed when layers of loose materials and compacted?
That process, of itself, does not form a particular "type" of rock. what it produces is rock "strata" where the rock involved could be igneous or sedimentary in origin.
When sediment is deposited in layers what rock is formed explain your answer?

When rock is weathered and later pressed into layers what kind of rock is formed?
sedimentary
What sedimentary rock is formed form layers of clay compacted very tightly together?
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
What is rock formed from material that settled in layers?
This type of rock would be classified as sedimentary.
What is organic sedimentary?
a rock formed by unconsolidated sediment deposited in layers
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
