What happens to a metamorphic rock when its weathered?
Weathering of existing rock is the first step in the formation of most sedimentary rock, providing the sediment which will eventually be eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented together.
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
What happens to sediment when waves slow down?
deposition
What happens to the chromatin in the early cell division?
the cell division is compacted into visible stuctures called chromosmes
What happens to the chromatin in the early stages of cell division?
the cell division is compacted into visible stuctures called chromosmes
Describe what happens to sediment as it is changed to sedimentary rock?
It is compacted and cemented by minerals.

What are rocks formed from small fragments called?
Clastic sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed when small sediment particles are compacted and cemented together. This happens when the sediments are glued together by tiny crystals or chemicals from fluids that have precipitated in the pores between the sediments.
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
What happens to sediment when it hits a boulder?

What happens to a rock when its weathered?

What happens to potential energy as a squashed ball regains it shape?
Its potential energy increases as it regains its shape.
