What are sedimentary rocks formed by?
When older rocks, plants, and other loose material get pressed or cemented together
What is mechanically formed sedimentary rock?
Rocks formed by accumulation of materials from other rocks which are cemented together. Eg: sandstones formed from sand grains, granite made up of quartz.
Rocks made of other rock fragments cemented together are called?
They are classified as clastic sedimentary rocks.
Rocks called what are made out of Pebbles cemented together with each other sediments?
conglomerate
What kind of rock is formed by compression of successive layers of soil?
Sedimentary rocks are created when layers of debris are compacted and cemented together. These types of rocks are also known as secondary rocks because they often result from fragments of other rocks being cemented together. The type of sedimentary rock you seem to be asking about is organic. Organic sedimentary rock is formed when the sedimentary debris is compiled through organic processes. For example rocks forming as succesive layers of substrate pile onto one another and compact over time.
The rock type formed as bits of other rocks are cemented together is?
sedimentary
What are sedimentary rocks formed by?

What rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure?
Rocks formed from layers of materials that settle and get cemented together are Sedimentary Rocks.
What is it called when rock forms of small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by disolved mineral material?
rock formed of small rocks that are cemented together by dissolved mineral material?
What is mechanically formed sedimentary rock?
Rocks formed by accumulation of materials from other rocks which are cemented together. Eg: sandstones formed from sand grains, granite made up of quartz.
What are sedimentary rocks ad how are they formed?
Rocks made from sediments being compacted & cemented together.
What are sedimentary rocks formed from?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of pre-existing sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock that are deposited, compacted, and cemented together by natural processes.Clastic sedimentary rock is made of fragments of rocks cemented together by a mineral such as calcite or quartz.
What rocks are formed when rock particles are cemented and pushed together?
Clastic sedimentary rock is formed from the compaction and cementation of particles of other rock. Examples are shale, sandstone, and conglomerate.
How are each of the major types of rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed from magma or lava cooling and hardening. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments being compressed and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that are changed by extreme heat and pressure.
What is the type of rock made from layers of rock and other materials that are cemented together?
That'd be a conglomerate rock. They are formed by either compacting, or cementing of weathered rocks.
What is the composition of the sedimentary rock?
eroded particals of other rocks that are cemented together
Rocks made of other rock fragments cemented together are called?
They are classified as clastic sedimentary rocks.
