Sedimentary rock. Eg Conglomerate.
As sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from grains of sand over millions of years), applying heat and pressure is likely to pulverise the sandstone.
Sediments are piled on top of one other over short periods of time
Africa was formed when the supercontinent Pangia started to spread apart over the course of millions of years, thus creating all the continents including Africa
because all the different types and weights of the sediments means that some fall through the water faster than others so when they compress into rock the heaviest sediments will be at the bottom etc.
Rock that is formed from volcanoes are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from other layers of grains that are heaving and over millions of years have enough weight squish the grains into a proper rock. This is why the newest rocks are found at the top of layers.
scientists think that petroleum formed from the remains of plankton and other microscopic protists, plants, and animals living in shallow seas millions of years ago. The remains of these organisms settled on the ocean floor and were covered by sediments. Over millions of years, the pressure and heat produced by the sediments coverted the remains of these organisms into a syrupy liquid.
According to uniformitarians, sediments are laid down slowly over millions of years. Eventually, conditions change and the sediments harden to form rocks. The conditions during which the sediments were laid down determine the type of sediment, which in turn determines the kind of rock formed.
Volcanoes formed the Hawaiian Islands over millions and millions of years.
As plankton die, it sinks to the sea floor, and over many years, a sediment is formed.
Sediments turn into coral reefs when coral colonies are formed over them, a process that can take thousands of years.
the grand canyon formed over millions and millions of years ago
the remains of plant matter is changed into coal over millions of years while the remains of billions of microorganisms and other organisms formed petroleum and natural gas.
Fossil fuels are formed on Earth, not on Sun.
Coal, Natural Gas and Oil
yes only if they are buried for over millions of years
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
The land where the rock was formed was underwater when the rock was formed. Over the years layers of Sediment sank to the bottom. Pressure formed the sediments into rock.
