How are layered rocks formed?
Rock layers are formed by sedimentation. Existing rocks weather and erode, are deposited, covered with additional sediments, compacted and cemented together by the precipitation of minerals from the fluids between the particles. There are other instances where layers can be created, such as repeated volcanic eruptions, but the bulk of rock layers are sedimentary in origin.
What are Solid particles that form layers at the bottom of ocean or lake?
Generically they are called sediments
How do Sedimentary rocks formed and what are they made of?
Sedimantary RocksThese rocks are formed from th ehot lavaJk jk i was bored i dont reall know what they mean and i real HATE STAaR
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.
How would you define sediment and sedimentary rock?
Sediments- Sediments are lose minerals such as rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of a shell that has been moved by ice, wind, water and gravity.Sedimentary rock- Is a rock formed my sediments deposited into layers and being pressurized over time.
Why are sedimentary rocks formed in layers?
Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
What sedimentary rocks form when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottom of lakes or oceans?
basalt
Which of steno's principles states that most layers of sediments are deposited in a horizontal position?
original horizontality
In rock layers what is usually found at the bottom?
Normally, the oldest rocks are found at the bottom of the layers, being the first of the sediments that were deposited.

What type of rock is composed of layers of small particles or sediments?

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.
What kind of sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottoms of lakes and oceans?
sedimentary rock formed by weathering and erosion
Broken pieces of what types of rock are deposited into layers and cemented together to form sedimentary rock?
Detrital Sediments Sincerly, John
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.
