What happens to igneous rocks when the undergo weathering and erosion?
If eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented, it becomes clastic sedimentary rock.
What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
What types of rocks can become sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
What is the composition of the sedimentary rock?
eroded particals of other rocks that are cemented together
What type of rock is formed when materials that are deposited in layers become cemented together?
sedimentary rock
Broken pieces of what types of rock are deposited into layers and cemented together to form sedimentary rock?
Broken pieces of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can be deposited into layers and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
Why cant igneous rock turn into sedimentay rock?
Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.
What rock forms when small pieces of other rock are deposited in layers and cemented together by dissolved mineral material?
sedimentary rock
What are three ways rock becomes eroded and three ways rock is deposited?
Three ways rock erodes include:Mechanical and chemical weatheringTransportation of the weathered particles to another location.WindIceWaterGravityWays rocks are deposited include:WindIceWaterGravity
Rock forms when small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by dissolved material?
sedimentary rock
How can basalt become part of a sedimentary rock?
Basalt can be weathered and eroded by natural processes, breaking down into sediment particles. These sediment particles can then be transported by water or wind and deposited in a new location where they can accumulate and eventually lithify into a sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation processes.
What happens to any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentary rock?
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
