What type of rock weather to form sediment?
erosion
What type of rock do fosil form in?
B The organism must be buried in sediment soon after it dies.
How does metamorphic rock turn into another type of rock?
Metamorphic rock can turn into another type of rock through processes like weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into sediment. This sediment can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock, or melt and cool to form igneous rock through processes like metamorphism.
What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Sedimentary rocks can wear away to form sediment through weathering processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments over time.
When layers of sediment get squeezed together they make this rock type called?
When layers of sediment get squeezed together, they form a rock type called sedimentary rock. This process, known as lithification, involves the compression and cementation of sediment particles over time. Sedimentary rocks can include materials such as sandstone, shale, and limestone.
What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
What type of rock forms from layers of sediment?
Sedimentary rock.
Can igneous rock be weathered to form sediment?
Yes. Any rock can be weathered to form sediment.
What is required to form a sedimentary rock?
sediment and time.
What is form when sediment is lithified?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
Why are dinosaur bones only in sedimentary rock instead of igneous rock?
Because ingenious rock is a type of rock, sedimentary hardens over time with the sediment(gravel, rocks, dirt) inside it. So in this case the fossils or dinosaur bones harden over time into the sediment and form into the rock.
What type of sedimentary rock would form from sediment 0.0002 cm in diameter-?
Sediment with a diameter of 0.0002 cm would likely form siltstone, a fine-grained sedimentary rock. Siltstones are composed of particles smaller than sand but larger than clay, and they form when silt-sized particles compact and cement together over time.
