What sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of plants and animals?
Sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of plants and animals are called organic sedimentary rocks. Examples include coal, formed from the remains of plants, and limestone, formed from the shells of marine organisms.
What effect do plants have on rock?
Certain plants are able to get their roots into cracks in rocks. As the plant grows, the thickening roots may force the crack to widen. That, and the expanding ice in winter, may crack the rock wide open.
What type of sedimentary rocks form the breakdown of plants?
Organic sedimentary rocks, such as coal and some types of shale, form from the buildup and compression of plant material over time. These rocks are primarily composed of remains of plants and organic material.
Plants that push through the rocks cause rocks to split or break down?
Plants that grow in between rocks can exert physical pressure on the rocks as they expand, causing them to split or break down over time. The roots of these plants can also penetrate cracks in the rocks, further contributing to their disintegration through a process known as biopitting. Overall, the presence of plants in rocky environments can play a role in breaking down rocks through both mechanical and biochemical means.
Sedimentary rocks that are formed partially by animals and plants are called what?
Sedimentary rocks that are formed partially by animals and plants are called organic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of the remains or traces of once-living organisms. An example of an organic sedimentary rock is limestone, which is formed from the accumulation of marine organisms' shells and skeletons.
