Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
What else can I help you with?
Can only igneous rocks become sedimentary rock?
No, any type of rock can become sedimentary rock, because sedimentary rock refers to any rock that has been eroded, and pressure has been applied to it so as to solidify it from a granular state.
What is required to change an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
Do sedimentary rocks have different types of rocks mixed in them?
Sedimentary rock does have different type of rock because when shells,sand, and soil pick up and become rock that combination can make 100 different types of rocks because of the minerals,size,and shape.
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
What type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion. This involves the breaking down of existing rocks into sediments, which are then compacted and cemented together to form new sedimentary rock.
What is the rock types of sedimentary rocks?
ShaleLimestoneSandstone
What are different types of sedimentary rock?
Coal and Sandstone are two types of sedimentary rocks.
What are the types of rock that contain fossils?
Sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, sandstone, and shale, are the most common types of rocks that contain fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains of plants and animals are buried in sediment and eventually become preserved in rock over time. Igneous and metamorphic rocks typically do not contain fossils.
What rock types would most likely contain fossil?
Sedimentary rock is the only type of rock that will contain fossils, but there are several types of sedimentary rock.Examples:Clastic Sedimentary Rocks (particles of silt and/or sand that cement together): Conglomerate, Breccia, Sandstone, Siltstone, Shale.Examples:Chemical Sedimentary Rocks (forms when mineral constituents become supersaturated and inorganically precipitate):Evaporates:Halite, GypsumCarbonates:Limestone, Fossiliferous LimestoneSiliceous Rocks: ChertOrganic Sedimentary Rocks: Coal.The rocks listed in BOLD will likely be found with fossils.
What are 3 major rock types?
Igneous Rocks,Sedimentary Rocks,Metamorphic Rocks.
Can a moon rock become sedimentary rocks?
no because sedimentary rocks are made at the bottom of oceans
What are the types of the rock?
The types of rocks are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
