Which rock has many layers

Answer 1

Sedimentary rock.

Or more in geology and related fields, a stratum (plural: strata) is a layer of rock or soil with internally consistent characteristics that make it different it from contiguous layers either side of it. Each layer is generally one of a number of parallel layers that lie one upon another, laid down by natural forces.

A sedimentary rock is one form of rock that can be stratified, but there are other examples of strata that are not sedimentary on origin (e.g. a layered igneous body or a flood basalt).

Answer 2

Many rocks can have layered structures, such as mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, shale, tuff, slate and phyllite. Phyllite is unusual in that its layers are not flat, but have been bent under pressure.

Answer 3

Any type of rock has the potential to have bands or layers. Most often, metamorphic rocks (like schist) and sedimentary rocks (like sandstone) have layers defined by different mineralogies. However, it is possible for igneous rocks to show layering as well.

Answer 4

This type of rock is a sedimentary rock

Answer 5

What type of rock is this.

Answer 6
