Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
How are clastic sedimentary rocks different from organic sedimentary rocks?
they form
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks formed when they undergo?
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.
Do Igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
Normally when sedimentary rocks are squashed and heated they do indeed change, they become metamorphic rocks. e.g. mud will be turned into slate - limestone into marble etc.As the metamorphic temperature and pressure increase still further, most sedimentary rocks end up as Granulites or Banded Gneisses which look very much like igneous rocks (Granites).In the extreme, sedimentary rocks can melt, and these melts will form new magmas which will eventually harden to form new igneous rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Does weathering and erosion effect rocks on the earth's surface only?
No of course not. Anywhere water has the ability to flow across, along, or through rocks it will erode the rock. If wind blows through an underground cavern it will weather the surface of the rocks it encounters.
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
What do sedimentary rocks form from?
Sedimentary rocks form from a few different things. Sedimentary rocks form from sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind and gravity.
How are clastic sedimentary rocks different from organic sedimentary rocks?
they form
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from weather particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is one possible form.
What type of mountains are the adirondack mountains?
These are upwarped mountains. They form when blocks of Earth's crust are pushed up by forces within Earth. Over time, the soil and sedimentary rocks at the top of Earth's crust erode, exposing the hard, crystalline rock underneath. As these rocks erode, they form the peaks and ridges.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks formed when they undergo?
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
