Is sedimentary rock homogeneous?
Not usually, due to the various sources of the sediments it contains.
What underlies the unconsolidated sediments of the sea floor?
Probably consolidated sediments (sedimentary rock), then the rock basalt.
What is one product of chemical weathering?
the product of weathering issand clay and rock fragments
When sediments are pressed together what kind of rock is formed?
sand becomes sandstone and mud becomes shale
How can sedimentary rock be changed into a new sedimentary rock?
When a sedimentary rock is weathered or eroded, it becomes sediments, or small pieces of rock. Then the sediments are compacted together and they are formed into a new sedimentary rock. I hope my answer was helpful to you.

Is soil a mixture of sediments from weathered rock and decayed materials and gases from air and and water?
Yes, I did not my science journal but I think you can
Sediments with a mixture of sizes are known as?
poorly sorted sediments
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What forms when rock erode?
sediments
What underlies the unconsolidated sediments of the sea floor?
Probably consolidated sediments (sedimentary rock), then the rock basalt.
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
A sedimentary rock is weathered by wind and water The rock breaks down into sediments again If the sediments become cemented what type of rock will be formed?
sedimentary rock
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
Mixture of sediments deposited by a glacier?
the correct answer is till. this sediment, deposited directly from glacier ice is till.
What rock is a sedimentary rock formed from?
Sedimentary rock is so named because it is formed from sediments. The sediments could be particles of rock, sand, minerals, or organic material.
