What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
What are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
Are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
Rocks that have layers or clasts were formed by what?
Is it sediment being compressed until it becomes rock
Constant movement of water or wind over soft sediment forms what marks on sedimentary rocks?
Ripples.

How is a sedmentary rock form?
sediment gets compressed together over long periodsmof time and with heat they get compacted into rocks
What are the ingredients in sedimentary rocks?
The ingredients in a sedimentary rock is sand and sediment because thats what forms it.
What rocks are usually found with layers?
Sedimentary rock. It forms when layers of sediment pile up.
How sedimentary rocks form from sediments?
sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.
Over a long period of time the layers of sediment turn into?
It is sand. Edit: Over many thousands of years - sediment gets compressed and compacted into layers. The layers form rocks such as slate and coal.
Constant movement of water or wind over soft sediment forms what marks on sedimentary rocks?
Ripples.
How sedimenatry rocks are formed?
Other rocks are broken into pieces, e.g., gravel, sand, silt, or clay, by weathering and erosion. These are carried downstream or into the ocean, or blown by wind. They later get compressed so that they seem like rocks rather than sediment.
How are magma and sediment alike?
They are not alike: magma is the semi-molton rock layer that forms the mantle. Examples of sediment are the silt (mud) that has dropped out of water to settle on the bottom of rivers or sea; and layers of slate (compressed silt), limestone (the remains of microscopic shelled creatures) and sandstone (compressed sand grains).
