What will happen to sediments in a million years?
The sediments go into the ocean and get dry and become buried. The sediments go through some cementation and compaction and become sedimentary rock! :) Hope you enjoy...
What is a rock and how it is form?
A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, that is particles of preexisting rocks that have been broken down by weathering process and transported to new locations by water, ice or wind. The sediments accumulate over time as layers deposited parallel to the Earth's surface and, as they become buried by overlying deposits, they harden to form rock - sedimentary rock. During their deposition process, they may include burrows, shells or bones of living creatures and these become fossils as the sediments harden.

How do sediments change over time?
The get compacted with burial and dewater. The grains from which they are made become cemented together and the sediments become sedimentary rocks.
What is a brief summary for the section angularity in the Earth science book?
when particles collide with each other and with other object in their path it happens when sediments is transported from its source to where it is deposited. these collision can cause the particles to change size and shape. angular and uneven rocks are when particles that have moved long distances from the source tends to be more rounder and smoother. the farther sediments travel from its source the finer and smoother the particles of sediments become.
How do Sedimentary rocks formed and what are they made of?
Sedimantary RocksThese rocks are formed from th ehot lavaJk jk i was bored i dont reall know what they mean and i real HATE STAaR
Rock can become magma again as a result of?
erosion
What sedimentary rock is weathered by wind and water and the rock breaksdown int sediments If the sediments become cemented what type of rockwould it be?
sedimentary
What process must a sedimentary rock go through to become one?
A sedimentary rock gets buried within the crust due to the movement of the plate tectonics; gets baked and becomes a metamorphic rock OR gets melted and solidifies to become an igneous rock. When the rocks (either metamorphic or igneous or both) are exposed, weathering and erosion occurs and the rock sediments are transported where they deposit at the bottom of a water body and get compacted (by the weight of the layers of sediments above) and cemented (by the minerals dissolved in the water) to become a sedimentary rock.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
How do sediments become sedimentary rocks?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
One trigger of mass movement is the pores in sediments filling with what?
One trigger of mass movements occurs when the pores in sediments become filled with water.
