Sedimentary rock.
sedimentary rock formed by weathering and erosion
Sedimentary rocks: Rock formed when chemical reactions cement sediments (small, solid fragments of rocks and other materials) together, hardening them. Igneous rocks: Rock that forms from molten rock (hot magma thats cools and hardens). Metamorphic rocks: Igneous/sedimentary rock that has been changed into a new kind of rock as a result of great pressure and temperature.
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are compressed, compacted, and cemented together. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
The property that best describes a rock formed from sediments is sedimentary. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and consolidation of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, over time. These rocks often have distinct layers and can contain fossils.
Sedimentary rock families formed from the compression of sediments are called lithified sedimentary rocks. These rocks are classified based on their composition, texture, and the process through which they were formed. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rocks are formed when other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) are weathered and eroded and their sediments are compacted and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks can be formed when heat and pressure is applied to any type of existing rock. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools. The magma can be made up of melted rocks of any kind (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic). The cycle repeats itself all the time and all of the rocks can come from any other kind of rock.
Sedimentary rock is formed by the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. These rocks are made up of sediments that have been compacted and cemented together over time.
