Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
What ways are Metamorphic rock are like Sedimentary rocks?
They are both part of the ground?
What year were sedimentary rocks discovered?
Sedimentary rocks have been on the earth since it first cooled enough to form a solid crust. Since then the processes of weathering and erosion have lead to the deposition of sediments. The oldest sedimentary rocks we have been able to identify are found in Greenland and are about 3.9 billion years old.The recognition as to what sedimentary rocks were and how they were formed came with the emergence of the science of Geology and the first geological maps (made by William Smith in England) in 1799. The understanding as to what sedimentary rocks were came as part of the principle of uniformitarianism which was developed from the work of the Scottish geologist James Hutton in 1785.
Which part of the world are sedimentary rocks most found in?
They are found in ALL parts of the world.
What are up-folded sedimentary rocks?
Up-folded sedimentary rocks are rocks that have experienced folding due to tectonic forces in the Earth's crust, resulting in the formation of anticlines where the layers of rock are pushed upwards. These rocks often exhibit a series of bends and folds, which can be seen in the landscape as hills or ridges. Up-folded sedimentary rocks provide geologists with insights into the deformation and stresses that have affected the Earth's crust over time.
How are sedimentary rocks useful as records of past time?
Sedimentary rock is used in:Gravel and roadbedsConcrete aggregateProduction of cementProduction of steelProduction of glassMedicinesMakeupToothpasteBuilding componentsThe study of Earth's historyThe production of brickProduction of pottery and ceramicsPaintsDrywallPlaster
How is the beach a part of science?
the sand of course is little bits of eroded sedimentary rock, and sedimentary rocks are apart of the rock CYCLE (metamorphic melts into IGNEOUS.. etc etc). alsooo, rocks forming and falling are a part of our natural earth.. and science, my dear, is observing the natural earth!(: hope this helped...
What part of earth makes up the landmasses?
The earth's landmasses are primarily made up of continental crust. Continental crust is thicker, less dense, and composed mainly of rocks such as granite and sedimentary rocks. It's where the continents are located and covers about 30% of the Earth's surface.
What are desert houses made from?
The answer to this question has many parts. Houses in the desert vary greatly depending on which desert is being spoken of. For example, houses in Las Vegas are fully furnished and made from wood and various other construction materials. On the other hand houses in third world countries situated in the desert are most probably built from hardened mud, rocks may have been mixed in to give more support.
