What else can I help you with?
Where does sedimentary rock exist core crust or mantle?
Sedimentary rock covers much of the Earth's crust.
Is the crust made up of rock?
Yes. The crust is made of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock.
Why is there no sedimentary rock deep in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks get transformed into metamorphic and eventually igneous rocks in deep earth's crust.
Is the earth's crust sedimentary rock?
no it can also be metaphoric or igneous rock
Why there is no sedimentary rock deep in Earth's crust?
Below certain depths the heat and pressure will turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
What would you find in a sedimentary rock?
Anything, really.
There's no sedimentary rock deep in Earth's crust?
Below certain depths the heat and pressure will turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
Why there's no sedimentary rock deep in Earth's crust?
Below certain depths the heat and pressure will turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
In which type of rock would you mostly likely find fossil?
You would most likely find fossils in sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sediment that accumulate over time, which can help preserve fossils in the rock.
What are the two types of crust and what type of rocks are they made of?
igneous rock and sedimentary rock
Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?
You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.
