A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called?
A clastic sedimentary rock.
Rocks that are formed of pieces of other rocks plant and animal matter or dissolved minerals are called?
Sedimentary rock
What kind of rocks are formed when bits and pieces of other rocks are compacted?
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
What is it called when rock forms of small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by disolved mineral material?
rock formed of small rocks that are cemented together by dissolved mineral material?
Can igneous rocks form directly from any other rocks?
Igneous rocks are one of three classifications of rocks. Igneous rocks are formed as a direct result of crystalline solids being formed by the cooling of magma. Sedimentary rocks are the result of pieces broken from chemical, clastic and organic rock. Metamorphic rocks can be any kind of rock and are formed when a rock goes through metamorphic changes, usually due to a buried rock coming in contact with unstable minerals.
Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.

Are all rocks formed by volcanoes?
no not all rocks are formed by volcanoes because what about sedimentary rocks which are the rocks formed over a long period of time by little pieces of sand and rock etc. by wind and water

A rock formed as pieces older rock and sediment get pressed or cemented together.
What are rocks that are formed from other rocks called?
This could either be a clastic sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock.
Rocks that are formed of pieces of other rocks plant and animal matter or dissolved minerals collect to form rock layers are called?
they are called sedimentary rocks... yeah that worksheet made me mad... glenco stinks

Sedimentary rock.
