What is the group of rocks that are formed from sediments?
sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
All rocks are made of sediments?
Not all rocks are, only sedimentary rocks are truly made up of sediments. Some metamorphic rocks do because they are formed when heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rocks, which makes sediments the basis of these rocks as well
How are rocks and grains different?
rocks are formed from grains and grains are small and the rocks are big. Sedimentary rocks are formed when grains or sediments are compacted together.
What is formed when crustal rocks are compressed?
Wrinkles by:kenly
What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks.
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 group of rocks that are formed from sediments?
sedimentary rocks
How are sedamentic rocks formed?
the sedamentic rocks formed on the gradual accumulation of sediments.
How are sedimentary rocks formed by?
by sediments
How is sedimenary rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the earths surface when sediments hardens into rocks :]
What type of rocks are formed when sediments are compacted over time?
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks is made from layers os compressed sediments?
Gravel
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What are compressed and cemented together to form sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction from overlying sediments and by the cementation resulting from the replacement of fluids with minerals, in a process of rock formation known as lithification.
Sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
Is every type of rock made with heat and pressure?
No. Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks by the action of heat and pressure. Igneous rocks are formed when liquid magma (or lava) cools and sets. Sedimentary rocks are formed when solid particles sink to the bottom of bodies of water, and gradually get compressed together by later sediments.
