The process of creating clastic sedimentary rock is .?
lithification
How is a fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
What is the difference between a crystalline rock and a clastic rock?
Crystalline rock is composed of interlocking crystalline grains, as in granite. Clastic rock is composed of rock or mineral grains which have become cemented together by the processes of lithification. Examples of clastic rock are sandstone and conglomerate.
How is fragmental sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
How is a fragmental sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
How do geologist classify sedimentary rocks?
They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.
Lithified detritus forms which kind of sedimentary rock?
When rock sediment is lithified, a sedimentary rock is formed. The two processes involved in lithification are compaction and cementation.
Which rocks could form when existing bits of rock stick together?
If existing bits of rock become attached through the process of lithification, a clastic sedimentary rock is formed.
What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
What is the sequence of events that form clastic sedimentary frocks from solid rocks?
The formation of a clastic sediment and sedimentary rocks involves five processes: 1. weathering 2. erosion 3. transportation 4. deposition 5. lithification
What kind of rocks are formed when bits and pieces of other rocks are compacted?
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
What the difference between clastic and chemical sedimentary rock?
The chemical sedimentary rock will not be composed of cemented rock particles.
