Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.
When a sedimentary rock melts, it forms an igneous rock upon solidification. This process involves the sedimentary rock going through changes in temperature and pressure, causing it to melt and re-crystallize into an igneous rock.
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks form as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together. The process of forming sedimentary rocks is lithification.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat and pressure, it forms metamorphic rock. This process is known as metamorphism, where the existing rock undergoes changes in mineral composition and texture without melting.
It forms by
sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.
The type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together is called "clastic sedimentary rock." These rocks are created from the compaction and cementation of loose particles like sand, silt, and clay. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
A type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together is called a clastic sedimentary rock. This process occurs when loose grains of sediment, such as sand or clay, are compacted and cemented together over time to create a solid rock. Examples of clastic sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
