Describe how clastic sedimentary rock differs from chemical and organic sedimentary rock?
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
What is a rock that forms when the particles are compacted and cemented together?
sedimentary rock.
What type of sedimentary rock forms when particles of mineral and rocks are cemented together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What is the process sedimentary to igneous?
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat or pressure it forms what?
A metamorphic rock.
Is the process that forms sedimentary rock?
Lithification
What is the process that forms sedimentary rock that starts with the letter L?
Lithification.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What type of rock forms from layering of eroded rock?
sedimentary
What type of rock forms in layers?
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
Describe how clastic sedimentary rock differs from chemical and organic sedimentary rock?

Which is not a process involved in formation of sedimentary rock?
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
What is a rock that forms when the particles are compacted and cemented together?
sedimentary rock.
Write the terms in the correct order in the flowchart to show how a clastic sedimentary rock forms?
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
What is the process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed?
The process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed is called strata.
When a sedimentary rock melts what type of rock forms?
Sedimentary rock can be changed into igneous rock by undergoing melting and then solidification.
