hydrates
What are made of sediments that have been weathered and eroded from minerals dissolved in sea water?
sedimentation
What one sedimentary process makes conglomerate and breccia rocks different?
The length of time that the sediments that compose the rocks are eroded causes the sediments in a conglomerate to become rounded.

When do steams erode sediments?

What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
Sediments eroded from mountainsides and transported in streams are an example of the conservation of?
Matter
Which natural forces create sediments?
Sediments are mainly caused by gravity acting upon eroded particles, and of the bodies of dead plants and animals.
