Which types of rock can be weathered to form sediment?

All forms of rock can weather and form sediment that is carried by water, wind or glaciers. Some just break down more easily than others. Example One is fine grained igneous basalt (lava) that is very difficult to break down. Now think of a black sand beach. That is an example of sediment. Another example is a very soft limestone that was originally formed from sediment itself. But through heat and pressure was turned into rock. It may erode very easily and be carried away by a stream or a glacier. We don't often consider how the things on our Earth are all related. We think of an ocean and a mountain range as two very distinct and separate things. But it is more likely that the mountain range was once the floor of an ancient sea. And the tectonic plates collided and one slid underneath the other and all the shells and dirt and bones that collected on the bottom of the sea for millions of years was transformed into a rock. The seas, the mountains, the skies, the people and animals. All just parts of a system that are all related.


When is sediment deposited in bodies of water?

We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.

Why do you think paleontologists find fossils of small water plants but few other plants in the deepest rock layer?

No land plants in the deepest rock layers. Water plants are easily covered with sediment while land plants rot long before sediment covers them usually.

What is the difference between good conductors and good insulators?

Conductors are good energy carriers they allow energy to pass through them easily examples are steel,metals and cooper. Insulators do not allow energy (or heat) to pass through them easily such examples are wood oven mitts and cloth. ..... unless the person asking the question was referring to electricity. I dont think wood, oven mitts and cloth would be good examples for electrical insulators, as they are susceptible to collecting moisture, which is an electrical carrier.
