What rock formed in layers?
sedimentary rock
What kind of rock is formed by compression of successive layers of soil?
Sedimentary rocks are created when layers of debris are compacted and cemented together. These types of rocks are also known as secondary rocks because they often result from fragments of other rocks being cemented together. The type of sedimentary rock you seem to be asking about is organic. Organic sedimentary rock is formed when the sedimentary debris is compiled through organic processes. For example rocks forming as succesive layers of substrate pile onto one another and compact over time.
What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
When rock fragments get compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks they are known as?
metamorphic rocks
What are rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
Sedimentary Rocks
What does it mean for rock layers that are forming?

What rock cycle means?

What kind of rock is made up of layers?

What is rock sequencing?

How can ingneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Molten Rock from with in earth can force its way up through the layers above it cooling and forming igneous rock.
What are the layers of rock made of?
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.
How are rock layers arranging the geologic column?
The oldest rocks (layers) are at the bottom. The youngestrocks (layers) are at the top
How is water important forming many sedimentary rocks?
Water pushes down on the layers of sand and stone. Over time, the water evaporates the leaves the sedimentary rock to dry.
