What feature of sedimentary rock is measured by the Wentworth scale of grain sizes?
texture
Can sizes of crystals in sedimentary rock tell us how quickly the lava or magma cooled that formed the rock?
Yes it can.
What is an arenite?
An arenite is a sedimentary rock with a grain size in the sand range on the Wentworth scale.
Is Clay Sediment from rock?
Clay is actually a description of sediment of a specific particle size. As such clay is not necessarily a rock. However when compacted and cemented clay forms claystone which is a sedimentary rock.
What can happen to a sedimentary rock?
It is then sedimentary rock.
What is the size of a clastic sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are solid and can break into bit (rocks) of various sizes. However, if you mean what are the sizes of a "clast" in a clastic sedimentary rock then the answer is the same. A "clast" is a fragment of rock that is included in a new forming sedimentary rock - the term "clast" does not imply a size and indeed in a clastic sedimentary rock the clasts are frequently of many sizes.
Shape of a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock could be of any of a great variety of shapes and sizes. Rock is not classified by physical shape.
What feature of sedimentary rock is measured by the Wentworth scale of grain sizes?
texture
Can sizes of crystals in sedimentary rock tell us how quickly the lava or magma cooled that formed the rock?
Yes it can.
The amount of uniformity in the size of rock or sediment particles is called?
The amount of uniformity in the size of rock or sediment particles is called "sorting." Sorting can range from well-sorted (similar-sized particles) to poorly sorted (a wide range of particle sizes).
What is the general term for a rock fragment present in a sedimentary rock?
The general term for a rock fragment is a sedimentary rock. This is taught in science.
What kind of rock is clastic?
Clastic refers to sedimentary rocks with rock particles of various sizes cemented together in a finer matrix.
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called?
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called a conglomerate. Conglomerates are made up of rounded or angular fragments of various sizes and types of rocks that have been cemented together.
What do the different sizes of rock tell us about the rock?
The size of a rock or rock particle is a general indicator of the distance it has travelled from the point of origin of the parent rock formation.
Is organic rock a type of sedimentary rock?
ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK`s : Is a type of sedimentary rock because sedimentary rock has three types of sedimentary rock called clastic , chemical , and organic sedimentary rock so yes ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK is a type of sedimentary rock..........................................
What kind of rock can sandstones be classified as?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
Particle size is the primary basis for distinguishing among various detrital sedimentary rocks?
Detrital sedimentary rocks are classified based on the particle size of the grains they contain. These rocks include conglomerate, sandstone, and shale, with conglomerate having the largest particles, followed by sandstone and shale with finer particles. The size of particles in a detrital sedimentary rock can provide information about the environment in which the rock was formed.
