When forming a sedimentary rock the layer that is deposited first is the?
soil
The type of rock deposited in a geosyncline is?
I am not sure.....is it sedimentary rock the answer??
Can intrusive igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock?
Yes and No An igneous rock can not just "become" a sedimentary rock, it first has to be weathered and eroded at the surface of the Earth. The debris produced is then washed away as sediment and deposited elsewhere. This deposited sediment then gradually hardens into a new rock which is a sedimentary rock. Thus until igneous rocks are exposed in outcrop, they remain as igneous rocks.
What happens to igneous rocks when the undergo weathering and erosion?
If eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented, it becomes clastic sedimentary rock.
Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
When forming a sedimentary rock the layer that is deposited first is the?
soil
How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?
A sedimentary rock becomes another sedimentary rock through erosion. The rock is eroded into bits, carried away, deposited and cemented and then lithified into a new sedimentary rock

What can you find within layers of sedimentary rock?
As sedimentary rock is deposited at over time, you can find fossils in it.
How does a metemorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?
By being first weathered into loose material (clast), then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated.
When sedimentary rock is deposited on top of igneous or metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic
When metamorpic rock is eroded deposited and cemented what does it turn into?
Sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is when minerals are deposited into layers?
Sedimentary
When sediment is deposited in layers what rock is formed?
sedimentary
