Which 3 different ways can sedimentary rocks form?

Answer 1

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area. The material will then be transported from the source area to the area of deposition. The type of sediment that is transported to a place depends on the geology of the hinterland (the source area of the sediment). However, some sedimentary rocks, like evaporites, are composed of material that formed at the place of deposition. The nature of a sedimentary rock therefore not only depends on sediment supply, but also on the sedimentary depositional environment in which it formed.

Answer 2

From the erosion and resedimentation of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rocks.

Answer 3

Limestone:

1. Formed from mostly shells

2. Formed when elements that were dissolved in water come out of the solution.

Answer 4

Well - their name indicates that they were formed by sedimentation processes. Often under the oceans. But depending on the region, there may be notable regional differences.
