Where does sea sediment Jasper come from?
Sea sediment jasper is a type of jasper that is often found near the shores of oceans, where sediments have accumulated over time. The unique patterns and colors in sea sediment jasper are a result of different minerals and compounds being deposited in the sediment layers that eventually solidify into jasper.

An igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock when what occurs?
When an Igneous rock is broken down by physical processes it can become sediment, carried along rivers and waterways to reach the sea and the oceans. When upon the seabed, it is slowly covered by other sediment, and the combined force of the water above and sediment above working with sea mud and other sea deposits forms sedimentary rock.
