Can sedimentary rocks be worn down?
Yes
What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
Which type of rocks are produced from broken down bits other kinds of rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Which kind of rocks are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rock?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
What is found in all sedimentary rocks?
Well an igneous rock can weather than turn into a sedimentary rock, a sedimentary rock can break down into sediments than form again to become sedimentary, or a metamorphic rock can break down by weathering and eroding and become sedimentary. All rocks can become all rocks and even go back to being the same type.
How was sandstomne formed?
Sandstone form when when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces. This is from the surface or the crust of a rock.
How was asandstome formed?
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.
Can sedimentary rocks be worn down?
Yes
What are the 3 type rocks?
Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. Sedimentary is produced by river sediments compacted into hard rock by years of pressure. Igneous rock is formed by lava cooling down when it reaches the surface. Metamorphic rock comes from Igneous, Sedimentary, or other Metamorphic rocks and is defined as rock that has been changed from some other rock, called a protolith, by years of heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface.

What is the composition of a sedimentary rock?
Small solid materials that come from pieces of rocks and living organisms
What do igneous rocks become when you break down and settle into layer?
sedimentary rocks
What is the process where sedimentary rocks are broken down?
Erosion.
Scientists divide rocks into groups based on what?
Rocks are grouped by how they are formed. There are 3 types of rocks. Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are made from broken down rocks, called sediment, which come from all three rocks. Metamorphic rocks come from existing rocks that are changed by heat and pressure. The Igneous rocks are formed from magma that rose up to the surface, also known as lava. When the lava cools and hardens it forms igneous rocks. That is a rock cycle.

What is the Structure of rocks deep in the earth?
There are two types of rock that can form deep within the earth: metamorphic rock and intrusive igneous rock. Metamorphic rock forms from rock that is altered under extreme heat and pressure. Intrusive igneous rock forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies underground. This is opposed to extrusive igneous rock, which forms at the surface after being erupted from a volcano.
Which type of rocks are produced from broken down bits other kinds of rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
