What is the process of pressing sediments called?
The process of pressing sediments is called compaction. The process that results in the layers being stuck together is called cementation.
When layers of sediment get squeezed together they make this rock type called?
i think it is limestone It is called sedimentary rock.
When sediments are disturbed the oldest layers are found at the?
In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
Where are the oldest layers of a sandstone rock located?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments that deposited by the wind and water. Over the time those sediments will get pressed and cemented together. It can take millions of years for sediments to become a rock. So the oldest layers of a sandstone are on a bottom.
Rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
I beileve the awnser would be Sedimentary Rocks because you know that if Igneous rocks are weathering, they turn into sediments. And if the sediments are squeezed or stuck together it would make a sedimentary rock. And the rock particles are sediments.
What is in sedimentary rocks?
a type of rock formed by layers of sediments that were squeezed and stuck together over a long time

What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)
When layers of sediments are pressed together form.?
Igneous 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
What landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle?
folded mountains
Landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle?
folded mountains
What are rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
