Why cant igneous rock turn into sedimentay rock?
Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.
What kind of rock is formed when loose rocks and dirt are transported and re-deposited?
sedimentary rocks are formed
How does a metemorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?
By being first weathered into loose material (clast), then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated.
What has to happen before a rock layer can be deposited?
Before a rock layer can be deposited, the area must undergo erosion and weathering. This breaks down existing rocks into sediment which can then be transported and deposited in a new location. The process of deposition occurs when the sediment settles into a new location and forms a layer over time.
Which rock layer was deposited last?
The topmost rock layer is the one that was deposited last, as rock layers are typically deposited in a vertical sequence with the oldest layers at the bottom and the youngest layers at the top.
What layer of sedimentary rock was deposited first?
The layer of sedimentary rock that was deposited first is typically the lowest layer in a sedimentary sequence, known as the "oldest" layer. According to the principle of superposition, in undisturbed sedimentary rock formations, the layers are arranged with the oldest at the bottom and the youngest at the top. This means that the first layer deposited is usually the one furthest down in the sequence. However, geological events like folding or faulting can complicate this arrangement.
What kind of sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottoms of lakes and oceans?
sedimentary rock formed by weathering and erosion
What are three ways rock becomes eroded and three ways rock is deposited?
Three ways rock erodes include:Mechanical and chemical weatheringTransportation of the weathered particles to another location.WindIceWaterGravityWays rocks are deposited include:WindIceWaterGravity
