What two processes play a role in forming sedimentary rocks?
The process of lithification changes rocks into sediments. This process is broken up into two parts: cementation and compaction. In cementation, the substance crystallizes, or fills in the spaces between loose particles of sediment. In compaction, the sediments are squeezed together by the weight of layers on top of them.
What must happen to sediments before they become sedimentary rocks?
They must undergo deposition then have heat and pressure applied. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the actions of chemical or mechanical processes.
What must sediments that are eroded and deposited go through before becoming a sedimentary rock?
cementation
What are three processes that a metamorphic rock must experience before it can become a sedimentary rock?
ErosionDepositionBurial and Cementing
What do scientist review before forming hypotheses?
scientific journal
What event could have occurred before the rock particles in clastic sedimentary rock became cemented together?
The particles would have been compacted by pressure from the weight of sediments above.
What made of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to plant material. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ice, etc. before they are deposited and lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.

What happens to an igneous rock before it turns into a sedimentary rock?
Its weathers and disintegrates dividing, separating and splitting up into smaller particles like a big hamburger or a hot dog with watermelon.

What rocks are sedimentary rocks made from?
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to fossils. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ants, etc. before they are lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.
What is the hardest type of rock igneous metamorphic and sedimentary?
be carefull before weathering is not allowed for sedimentary.
What is the charge of each atom before and after forming ionic bond?
Before the forming of the bond atoms are neutral; after the forming of the bond atoms become cations or anions.

Before the forming of the bond atoms are neutral; after the forming of the bond atoms become cations or anions.
Is conglomerate made of large angular pieces of sediments?
No, conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock made up of rounded gravel-sized particles. The particles in conglomerate are typically larger than sand grains and are often well-rounded due to the transportation and deposition processes that occur before the rock forms.
What do you do before forming a hypothesis?
You have to research what you are experimenting.
What was the population before and after the Irish Potato famine?
8 million before, about a million died, about a million emigrated.
