What is a rock made of layers that are cemented together?
Layers of sediment which have undergone lithification are called sedimentary rock.
The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together is called?
The process that presses sediments together is compaction. Thick layers of sediment build up gradually over millions of years. These heavy layers press down on the layers beneath them. The weight of new layers further compacts the sediments, squeezing them tightly together. The layers often remain invisible in sedimentary rock.
Magma squeezed into a horizontal crack between rock layers is?
when magma is squeezed into horizontals craks are called sill
Clay minerals cement layers of sediment together to form what?
Rogd
What is an ancient fossil that are found in dome-shaped rocks composed of thin layers of sediment pressed tightly together called?
Stromatolites
When layers of sediment get squeezed together they make this rock type called?
i think it is limestone It is called sedimentary rock.
How do layers change into rocks?
Sediment layers are squeezed from above by the weight of overlying sediment, causing compaction. Compaction squeezes out air and water between the sediment particles. Minerals form as the air and water is squeezed out, cementing the particles together, and forming sedimentary rock.
