Which type of rock is formed when layers of rock partials carried by wind and water are compressed and cemented together?
sedimentary
What type of rock is sedimentary rocks?
Three examples of sedimentary rock are: Slate (compressed silt), Limestone (skeletal remains of minute sea creatures), and Sandstone (compressed grains of sand).
What type of rock forms when molten rock cools?
Rock that forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies is called igneous rock.
What its a sedimentary rock?
it is a type of rock that is formed by the deposition ofmaterialin water, as more and more material is deposited the previous layers are compressed to form a rock such as sandstone
Which rock type forms from cooled magma?
what type of rock is formed from magma and cooled on earth surface
What type of rock forms from particles of plants and animals?
A type of rock? Possibly coal, which is decayed plant material, compressed and turned into a 'rock-like' material.
What type of rock ruby is?

What Type of sedimentary rock formed from compressed sand?
That would be sandstone.
All of these type of rock made up the lithosphere except?

How can tell igneous and metamorphic rocks apart?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma. This forms a rock that is uniform in composition, and sometimes contains air pocketed texture from the process of cooling. Sedimentary rock is formed of small bits of dirt and stone that bind together after they settle as sediment. This rock is usually distinguishable by the flecks of different types of rock and dirt. Metamorphic rock is any type of rock that is transformed by heat, pressure, or chemical changes. It often becomes denser and smoother than the rock from which it changed.
