What are flat deposits of rocks called?
Flat deposits of rocks are called sedimentary layers or strata. These layers are formed over time through the accumulation and compaction of sediments.
What do limestone shale and sandstone have in common?
Limestone, shale, and sandstone are all sedimentary rocks formed through the accumulation and compression of sediments. They are all composed of mineral particles such as quartz, calcite, and clay minerals. Additionally, these rocks are commonly used in construction and as building materials due to their durability and strength.
What kind of rocks are formed by percipitaion of a mineral?
The precipitation of minerals forms chemical sedimentary rocks. Examples include calcite deposits in vesicles in igneous rocks like pumice. The definition may be extended to include rocks formed by evaporation. Mineral Gypsum is formed this way.
What do you call to the chemical sedimentary rocks formed when water evaporates and leaves behind mineral deposits?
The chemical sedimentary rocks formed from evaporating water and leaving mineral deposits are called evaporites. These rocks include minerals like gypsum, halite, and calcite that precipitate out of solution as the water evaporates.
Is a limestone made from precipitated calcite clastic?
No, limestone made from precipitated calcite is not considered clastic. Clastic rocks are formed from fragments of pre-existing rocks, while limestone is formed through the accumulation of calcite deposits from the precipitation of calcium carbonate.
How are sedimentary rocks formed by?
by sediments
How are sedamentic rocks formed?
the sedamentic rocks formed on the gradual accumulation of sediments.
How is sedimenary rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the earths surface when sediments hardens into rocks :]
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What rocks have calcite in them?
Limestone and Marble have calcite in them.
What type of rocks are formed when sediments are compacted over time?
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
Water erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?
sedimentary rocks :)
