Forms as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together?
Sedimentary rocks form as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together. The process of forming sedimentary rocks is lithification.
What are sedimentary rocks formed by?
When older rocks, plants, and other loose material get pressed or cemented together
What type of rock is formed when layers of loose materials and compacted?
That process, of itself, does not form a particular "type" of rock. what it produces is rock "strata" where the rock involved could be igneous or sedimentary in origin.
Is a sand a solid?
Sand is a solid due to its molecular arrangement.
What type of rocks are fossil found in?
Fossils are created when organic material becomes trapped in a soft substance that hardens over time. These substances include tree resin, naturally occurring tar, ice, loose sand and soil, and natural concrete. Fossils are most often found in forms of sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock is made up of the hardened buildup of sand, clay and other materials that are deposited by wind and water.
Rocks formed from sediments deposits?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment deposits (gravel, sand, silt, clay) over long periods of time either on land or in water (lakes, oceans). As more and more sedimentary layers are deposited, the newer layers exert pressure on the older layers, which compacts the loose particles and cements them together - forming sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed through the precipitation of dissolved minerals to form limestone or dolomite.
During loose sediment becomes sedimentary rock?
lithification
Forms as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together?
Sedimentary rocks form as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together. The process of forming sedimentary rocks is lithification.
What kind of rock is formed when sediment and loose material bind together?
Sedimentary rock.
How are sedimentary rocks are made?
Sedimentary rocks are made by the majority of the crust are covered by a thin veneer of loose sediment, and the rock which is made as layers of this debris get compacted and cemented together.
What is a loose material such as rock fragments mineral grains and plant and animal remains?
coal and limestone
How does cementing and compacting relate to sedimentary rock formation?
They convert the loose sediment to solid rock.
Where do sedimentary rocks come from above ground or underground?
Sedimentary rocks come from above ground , because sedimentary rocks form when sediment piles up and sediment is made up of loose particles of clay, silt and sand
What kind of rock is formed when loose rocks and dirt are transported and re-deposited?
sedimentary rocks are formed
Rocks made of loose material that have been cemented together is what?
They're called clastic sedimentary rocks.
How do loose rock sediments form rocks?
If they are deposited, compacted, and cemented together, they form a sedimentary rock.
What are sedimentary rocks formed by?
When older rocks, plants, and other loose material get pressed or cemented together
