How are layers formed in a Sedimentary Rock?
The layers are formed by the deposition of sediments carried by wind, water, or ice.
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.
How can sedimentary rock be formed?
Layers of sand and other sediments are deposited by the action of wind and water. These layers build deeper over the centuries until the weight of all the top layers results in huge pressure on the lower layers squeezing all the various sediments together into a solid layer of rock.
When layers of sediments are pressed together form.?
Igneous rock
The process in which pressure from the upper layers of sediment pushes down on the lower layers causing the sediments to stick together and form solid rock?
compaction or cementation, but im pretty sure it is comoaction.

How is the chimney rock made?
layers of sediments and dirt that has a lot of heat and pressure
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.
Why are sediments usually found in layers?
because they are sedimentary rock
Is it true that sedimentary rocks is formed from many layers of sediment?
Yes, it is true. Sediments get blown together by wind, and then layer on top of each other. Over time, there's lots of pressure, and the lower sediments become sedimentary rocks.
When layers of sediments Are Squeezed Together To Form Rocks Is Called?
It is called sedimentary rock.
Why are layers of rocks different thicknesses?
The layers of rock are different thicknesses because of the way the sediments are formed and squashed together
