What is the sequence of events that form clastic sedimentary frocks from solid rocks?
The formation of a clastic sediment and sedimentary rocks involves five processes: 1. weathering 2. erosion 3. transportation 4. deposition 5. lithification
What is the difference between terrigenous sediments and biogenous sediments?
Terrigenous sediments come from the earth "Terri" means land or earth in greek "genous" means origin. Biogenous sediments come from organic matter.
How is Earth's surface worn down?
weathering and erosionWeathering is the process by which rocks are broken apart into sediments. Weathering can be either physical or chemical. Erosion is the process by which those sediments are moved to different areas. Erosion can be powered by wind, water, or ice in the form of glaciers.
What does sedimentation mean in a kid's words?
I am a kid, and i am 8. i think it means something turning into sediments, or something forming into sediments.
Is conglomerate foliated or non-foliated?
Conglomerate is a non-folliated rock. It is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
Compare and contrast clastic sediments with chemical sediments?
You cant
What is the chemical sediments?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
What process produce clastic sediments?
The rock cycle
Are sedimentary rocks formed when sediments are compacted by extreme pressure?
Clastic and organic sedimentary rocks like conglomerate, coal, some limestones, and shale, are formed under pressure from overlying sediments.
How is a fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
What is the sedimentation?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
What is the combination of weathering and movement of the resulting sediments of other rocks?
Clastic
What is it called when rock particles have been moved to other places by river?
Transportation/transported
What is in sediments?
This sediment is a precipitate, an insoluble matter in the solvent.
What is the name of a rock with sediments of other rocks?
These rocks are called detrital or clastic.
What does non-clastic mean?
Non-clastic means not formed from other rocks or rock particles.Non-clastic or chemical rock, is composed of chemical precipitate out of solution.Clastic rock is formed from particles of other rock.
