What is the most common type of rock on earth's surface?
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary.
What results from compression between rock layers?
it forms a sedimentary rock
What is most likely to produce a fragmental sedimentary rock?
which of the following is most likely to produce a fragmental sedimentary rock?
What is a fragmental sedimentary rock?
it is the result of weathering processes on earth
How is fragmental sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
How is a fragmental sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
What are some examples of fragmental rocks?
Fragmental sedimentary rocks are formed from rock fragments, such as sand, gravel or clay. These fragments become cemented together because of pressure and other chemical reactions.
What are rocks that form from fragmental classified as?
clastic sedimentary
What produces clay sand and rock fragments?

What type of rock is sandstone?
Clastic sedimentary. Classification of rocks are based upon three types: geological process, ... or sedimentaryrocks (fragmental rocks) are sandstone, laterite, sand, ... Sandstone (sometimes known as arenite) is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the Earth's crust.
What type of rock is formed when layers of loose materials and compacted?
That process, of itself, does not form a particular "type" of rock. what it produces is rock "strata" where the rock involved could be igneous or sedimentary in origin.
Is breccia foliated?
Breccia is an inorganic land-derived sedimentary rock. It is clastic (fragmental), but not foliated. Breccia is composed of mostly quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals; it may contain fragments of other rocks and minerals.
