Compare and contrast clastic sediments with chemical sediments?
You cant
What is compaction followed by in the lithification process?
In the lithification process, compaction is followed by cementation. It is the hardening and welding of clastic sediments by the precipitation of mineral matter.
Is a conglomerate a organic?
No because Conglomerate is made by sediments that are eroded by other rock or by dead plants and animals. The sediments are pushed or smooshed together by the pressuer sitting on top of it. This process is called compacton. This process turns the sediments into clasti sedimentry rocks. So Conglomerate is a clastic sedimantary rock.
Are sedimentary rocks formed when sediments are compacted by extreme pressure?
Clastic and organic sedimentary rocks like conglomerate, coal, some limestones, and shale, are formed under pressure from overlying sediments.
What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
How is a fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
What is the combination of weathering and movement of the resulting sediments of other rocks?
Clastic
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What is it called when rock particles have been moved to other places by river?
Transportation/transported
What is the name of a rock with sediments of other rocks?
These rocks are called detrital or clastic.
Why is the term clastic appropriate for particle weathered from solid rock?
Weathering produces rock and mineral fragments known as clastic sediments. The word clastic comes from the Greek word klastos, meaning "broken"
