What rock is a small sea animals shell and are pressed in to this kind of rock?
corals.
Why do rock and not fossils form sedimentary rock and not igneous rock?
Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.
How do fossils end up in sedimentary rocks?
fossils are small living organisms that existed millions of years ago. They mostly have a shell which is the fossil that you can sea. Sedimentary rock is formed when lots of small particles and pieces of rock and often dead organisms, (the fossils) drift down to the sea bed and over millions of years get compressed together to form the rock. The fossil that you see was once a living shelled organism which dies and was preserved as the sedimentary rock formed
What layer of rock is formed beneath the sea?
sand rocks :)
How are shingle beaches formed?
the way a shinge beach is formedthe first thing that happens when a shingle beach is formed is rocks fall from a cliff and end up into the sea. The sea then erodes(rubs) against the rock and it makes the rock smaller . The rock is then moved from the sea to the shore(s).
A rock formed by deposits of shell fragments?
A rock formed from deposits of shell fragment is Limestone.
Is a shell a rock?
An unoccupied sea shell could be considered sediment, a future component of rock.
A sedimentary rock that is sometimes formed by deposits of shell fragments?
A sedimentary rock that is sometimes formed by deposits of shell fragments is LIMESTONE!!
What rock is a small sea animals shell and are pressed in to this kind of rock?
corals.
Is a shell an igneous rock?
No. Igneous means formed from molten rock- and a shell was made by a living creature- not by fire. Shells can form sedimentary rocks, such as limestone.
Why isn't a sea shell a rock?
because it is a protection produced by an aimal
How is a sea arch formed?
A sea arch is formed by the erosive action of waves crashing against a headland or cliff, gradually wearing away the rock through processes like hydraulic action and abrasion. Over time, a small hole is formed, which enlarges and eventually erodes through the headland, creating a natural arch. Continued erosion may cause the arch to collapse, leading to the formation of a sea stack.
What rock is formed from shells of sea creatures?
lime stone
What are the abiotic factors of Sea Lions?
Abiotic Factor: The Sea Otter is carnivorous, so it eats mussels, etc. So, the organisms that are in a shell, the sea otter brings the shell to the surface and get a rock to crack the shell open. Obviously, the rock would be an abiotic factor. So the rock helps the otter survive by letting it eat (source of energy).
