How sedimentary rock can give information about past conditions is through?
Metamorphic changes
Fossil and sedimentary rocks form under specific conditions so their presence in certain lacations provides evidence for?
past environments
Geologists can use sedimentary rock to learn about climate in the past?
By looking at the sedimentary and studying it
How can geologists infer from sedimentary rocks what the surface conditions of Earth's past were like?
The inferences are made primarily from the fossils contained within the rock. The surface conditions drive the evolution of organisms as they adapt to those conditions. The type of organisms found in the fossil record therefore indicate the climatic and environmental conditions that existed at the time of their fossilization.
How can sedimentary rocks helpus learn about earths's past?
it is good
What are the remains of past life found in sedimentary rock?
sometimes fossils
How are sedimentary rock layers used be scientists to learn about the past?
plant and animal fossils are most often found in layers of sedimentary rocks
How are sedimentary rock layers used by scientists to learn about the past?
Sedimentary rock layers are used by scientist help learn by the texture and shapes
How are sedimentary rocks formed physical process?
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
How are sedimentary rocks formed through the physical process?
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
Sedimentary rocks are useful as records of past time because of?
Their layered structure :)
How can sedimentary rock earth history?
they have fossils and pieces of the environment from the past inside of them
