Limestone
Detrital rocks are composed of rock particles, chemical sedimentary rocks are composed of precipitated minerals.Examples:Detrital or clastic rocks:ConglomerateBrecciaSandstoneShaleChemical sedimentary rocks:Rock saltSome limestonesRock gypsumWhat_is_the_difference_between_detrital_and_chemical_sedimentary_rock
some examples of organic sedimentary rocks are coal and limestones
Many sedimentary rocks have an odor. High on the list would be coal, an organic sedimentary rock.
A metamorphic rock is made when an igneous or sedimentary rock undergoes heat and pressure for many years, changing it into another type of rock.
Chert is actually not a mineral. Chert is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of many minerals. It is composed mainly of the minerals chalcedony and quartz.
I believe it is Bioclastic sedimentary rock--coquina although it was formed by shells of marine organisms.
It depends on the cave. Since many caves are limestone (water carves it nicely), you usually find limestone. But granite is common in New Hampshire & Vermont.
Most caves are made from limestone because limestone is a sedimentary rock that is easily dissolved by water. Over time, acidic groundwater seeps into the cracks and crevices, dissolving and eroding the limestone to form cave systems. The process is known as karstification and is responsible for the creation of many limestone caves.
Not sure quite what you are asking about, but anyway it is more accurate to ask what kinds of rock hold the caves, not what rocks are in the caves. Most caves are in limestone, a sedimentary rock, irrespective of water-level. There are a few caves in igneous rock: lava-tubes in basalt-flows, but on land, not underwater. There are also a good many caves in marble, the metamorphic but still-soluble form of limestone; and again the water-level is secondary to the cave itself. A few caves exist in rock-salt, an evaporite.
Caves are usually natural formations (although some are man made) which bury deep into rock. Windows are man-made objects.
Mountains are made of many different rocks. Such as sedimentary, ingenious and metamorphosis rocks.
The Ajanta Caves contain 29 caves in total.
There are caves in many parts of Ireland. For example there are the Ailwee Caves in county Clare and the Dunmore caves in county Kilkenny. Thee are mountains all around Ireland and many caves can be found in them.
59 CAVES
The White Scar Caves are made from different rocks, mainly limestone rocks. There are also many different formations in the rock such as the Judges Head, The Devils Tongue and the Arum Lily!
yes. a sedimentary rock is usually pretty hard because it is made up of many layers that have been pressed on to it by the passage of time.
People lived in caves in the past for various reasons. Caves provided natural shelter from the elements, protection from predators, and were readily available in many environments. They also offered privacy and security for early human populations. Additionally, caves had a relatively constant temperature, which made them suitable for human habitation.
