∙ 9y agoThe Sedimentary rock is important in the rock cycle because it has a part in the cycle just like Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. If there was no Sedimentary rocks, there would be no rock cycle.

Sedimentary rocks are useful as records of past time because of .?
Their layered structure :)
What is a valid statement about rock formation?
Sedimentary rocks form the same as they did in the past.
Sedimentary rocks record past geological events and what else?
They also record the history of life and climate.
Why are sedimentary rocks important to scientists?
Answer: Sedimentary rocks contain the entire history of life on earth that is available to us, and much of the history of the Earth itself. All of this information will help us determine how we got where we are today.
Does Obsidian help make up any sedimentary rocks?
It could most certainly be found in sedimentary rock in areas of past volcanism, and is, in fact, found in some limestones.

What sedimentary gives info about past conditions of?
Sedimentary rocks are laid down one layer at a time. The layers give information on how the rocks formed.
How are sedimentary rocks formed physical process?
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
How can sedimentary rocks show earth history?
they have fossils and pieces of the environment from the past inside of them

How are sedimentary rock layers used be scientists to learn about the past?
plant and animal fossils are most often found in layers of sedimentary rocks
What are the 2 characteristics of sedimentary rocks that reveal the past history of the earth?
Presence of fossils and stratification of the rocks structure into different layers.
What provides geologist with evidence of earths past including geologic events and life forms?
The rocks of Earth's crust, especially sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks record past geological events and what else?
They also record the history of life and climate.
