well a sediment rock is a part of sediment so that is like sand or sedimentry rock some are big well im in 9th grade and im still asking ?
What else can I help you with?
What is the state of a rock after sedimentation?
Metamorphic is the next stage.
What stages in the rock cycle are most dependent on surface water?
Sedimentation
What kind of rock give of nature heat?
it sedimentation because is cret heart and presure. ----
What rock are fossils mainly found in?
Limestone and sandstone. The rock needs to be one that's formed from sedimentation around the dead animal.
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result?
The rock was most likely formed through the process of sedimentation, where layers of sediment accumulated over time and eventually turned into rock through compaction and cementation. The fossil seashells in the rock suggest that the area was once covered by a sea or ocean where these organisms lived and were preserved in the sediment as it solidified into rock.
Why are some rock layers thicker than others?
Rock layers can vary in thickness depending on factors such as the amount of sediment deposited, the duration of the deposition process, and local tectonic movements. In areas with high sedimentation rates, thicker rock layers may form compared to areas with lower sedimentation rates. Geological processes such as faulting and folding can also influence the thickness of rock layers.
What is the process of rock particles settling on the riverbed called?
The process is called deposition.
Is carbon released from the rock cycle during sedimentation and volcanic eruptions?
It is captured during sedimentation through carbon capture which is one of the processes involving limestone formation. It is released in large quantities during volcanic eruptions.
What is the changing of sediments into rock called?
The changing of sediments into rock is called lithification. This process involves the compaction and cementation of loose sediment particles to form solid rock.
Where is conglomerate rock most abundant?
Conglomerates are to be found all over the world. They are characteristic of sedimentation in a high energy environment.
In sedimentation what order does the layers goes?
In sedimentation, the layers are arranged in chronological order with the oldest layer at the bottom and the youngest layer at the top. This is known as the Law of Superposition in geology, which helps scientists determine the relative ages of different rock layers.
