Sedimentary rocks form when layers of small particles are compressed?
The small particles are compressed under water to then form sedimentary rocks
What kind of rocks are formed by wind erosion?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from chemical and physical weathering of rock, their subsequent erosion and transportation to a place of deposit, and their lithification through compaction and cementation.
How do you classify sedimentary rocks?
The basic division of sedimentary rocks is into clastic and chemical rocks. Clastic rocks are formed when grains form a sediment and are then cemented together, as happens with sandstone or shale. Chemical rocks form when solid precipitates out of solution, for instance when calcium carbonate is formed from sea water to give chalk.
What rocks are a mix of rounded pebbels and sand?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when flowing water deposits sediment. They tend to have a rounded shape, because the flowing water smooths out their shape.
What are compressed and cemented together to form sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction from overlying sediments and by the cementation resulting from the replacement of fluids with minerals, in a process of rock formation known as lithification.
Can sedimentary rocks form under the ocean or on land only?
Sedimentary rocks formed under oceans, but the ocean may no longer be there. The Great Lakes region was once all under water and has much sedimentary rock.
Chemocal sedimentary rocks are made from?
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water.
Are sedimentary rocks made in water?
Sedimentary rocks are usually formed in water, but not always. Some sandstones, for example, form in deserts.
What are the three formation of minerals?
There are three different kinds of rocks, depending on how they were formed. Igneous rocks formed when melted rock cooled and hardened. Sedimentary rocks formed in layers from bits of older rocks and parts of animals or plants. These collect in low areas or under water and harden into rocks. Metamorphic rocks formed when either sedimentary, igneous, or earlier formed metamorphic rocks were put under pressure and heat deep in the earth's crust.
Where can you find sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rock is rock that formed in the oceans after the sediment hardened. You will find such rock near bodies of water or places that used to be under water.
Is it true that sedimentary rocks are formed by particles deposited by wind and water?
no its not
What rocks form under water?
sedimentary
what kind of rock is formed under clam water conditions near the shore?
Various sedimentary rocks but particularly Limestone and Sandstone.
Sedimentary rock formed from deposits of?
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
What is the rock that is formed when water evaporates and leaves the chemical behind?
sedimentary rocks
What kind of rocks is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water?
Sedimentary rock
Where most sedimentary rocks formed under water?
Yes. Sediment forms under water, generally. Igneous rock, by comparison, forms in the crust and is upthrust by volcanic activity, for example.
