Why are rock layers significant?
if it is a sedimentary rock the fossils get cemented together
What are the 3 different types of cement that bind sand together in Sandstone?
Silica also called quartz cement, Calcite Cement, Iron Oxides also called hematite cement that bind sand together in sandstone. Sandstone also has other cementing agents that occur in less common forms. These cementing agents include pyrite, barite and gypsum.
What are some sedimentary rocks are made from smaller rounded stones that have been cemented together called .?
conglomerate rock
How do you make chemical products?
taking chemicals and mixing them together.
What happens to air particles as they cool?
The cooler the temperature, the slower the particles move and the closer together they are because they don't need as much room. That accounts for how cooler air is thicker.
What kind of rock is most likely resulted from compacting and cementing particles together?
Sedimentary rock results from compacting and cementing particles together.
What rocks mostly resulted from compacting and cementing particles together?
The type of rock resulting from compaction and cementing of particles together is Sedimentary Rock.
Is which rocks most likely resulted from compacting and cementing particles together?
sedimentary
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.
What type of rock is formed from small particles settling to the bottom of water and cementing together?
Sedimentary (horseisle ansfer)
Which rocks result from compacting and cementing particles together?
Clastic sedimentary rocks form due to the compaction and cementation of particles. Please see the related link.
How are seimentary rocks made?
Sedimentary rocks are created by the consolidation and cementing together of the rock particles that result from erosion and are carried by wind or water.
What rock is most likely resulted from compacting and cementing particles together?
Sandstone is most likely the result of compacting and cementing particles together.
What are two reasons the particles in a sedimentary rock stick together?
Compression due to pressure from overlying sediments and the presence of cementing substances such as clay and/or iron.
Which rocks are most likely resulted from compacting and cementing particles together?
Sandstone rocks are most likely the result of compacting and cementing particles together.
Rocks most likely resulted from compacting and cementing particles together?
sandstone
What are sedimentary rocks -?
Sedimentary rocks are most often lithified sediments, the origin of which may be from igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rock, and in some cases chemical solutions or organic matter. Erosion and weathering of rock creates a range of rock particles from boulder sized to microscopic. These particles are transported by wind, water or landslide to a point of deposition or resting place. If these particles continue to be covered with additional layers of particles, the compression from the weight above, will, in time remove most of the water from the sediments. As the water is removed, cementing minerals, such as calcite or quartz, solidify from the remaining solution and fill in the gaps between the particles. The result is a lithified sediment, better known as sedimentary rock.
