What are the major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
There are various processes that are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. This starts from weathering to deposition then erosion and finally there is lithification and compaction.
What is the major process of surface rock formation on volcanoes?
rock cools quickly from melted rockRock cools quickly from melted rock.
What are two major processes that form sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks require two processes to be formed. The first is weathering. Weathering is the disintegration/decomposition of rocks. Erosion is the process by which the weathered material is moved from one place to another. Erosion occurs when, for instance, a moving stream picks up a weathered pebble and moves it miles downstream to the mouth of a river. Erosion can also take place with ice, wind, etc.

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.
What are the 5 major processes involved in forming sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
What is not a major process in the sedimentary rock?
Melting.
What processes are involved with the formation of a sedimentary rock?
The two major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock include deposition (in which sedimentary material is deposited in an area) and cementation (in which that material becomes glued together overtime).
