What are examples of biochemical sedimentary rocks and evaporates?
Biochemical sedimentary rocks: limestone, coal, chalk. Evaporative chemical sedimentary rocks: rock salt, gypsum.
What types of rocks initially form from deposition?
Deposition forms sedimentary rocks.
The continental crust is what?
Composed mostly of granite, the continental crust is the layer of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks which forms the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves
What type of rock is salt?
Rock salt is not a rock...its just a salt that can be extracted from salty water especially from sea water.
What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks.
What are examples of biochemical sedimentary rocks and evaporates?
Biochemical sedimentary rocks: limestone, coal, chalk. Evaporative chemical sedimentary rocks: rock salt, gypsum.
What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks forms by recrystallization?
sedimentary rocks
What is the rock that is formed when water evaporates and leaves the chemical behind?
sedimentary rocks
What rock forms when mineral-rich water evaporates?
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the precipitation from, or evaporation of, water that is saturated with dissolved minerals. In addition, most clastic sedimentary rocks are also formed from the cementing together of sediment particles by the precipitation of minerals from water.
How are igneous and metamorphic rocks different from sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks have beds/strata. They are made from decomposed materials of other rocks. Plus they they have 3 forms: clastic = compacted or cemented rock particles (consolidated); precipitated = dissolved minerals deposited as H2O (water) cools or evaporates; organic = formed from organic matter (coal) or the activities of organisms (amber). Clastic sedimentary rocks are the most common, they are either sorted or unsorted. Precipitated sedimentary rocks can be crystals or massive. Organic sedimentary rocks usually vary.
What type of sedimentary rocks forms when particles of minerals and rocks are cemented together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What type of sedimentary rocks forms from weathering particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What types of rocks initially form from deposition?
Deposition forms sedimentary rocks.
What is a rock that forms when the particles are compacted and cemented together?
sedimentary rock.
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
What are up-folded sedimentary rocks?
They are the part of sedimentary rocks that forms the crest of a folding during deformation. They are also called Anticlines.
