Chemical sediments, when conditions are right, precipitates to form chemical sediments. This precipitation occurs one of two ways, by physical processes, or by biochemical origin.

How do sediments become sedimentary rocks?

When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.


What is one product of chemical weathering?

One product of chemical weathering is the formation of clay minerals from the alteration of feldspar minerals in rocks. Clay minerals are fine-grained particles that result from the breakdown of silicate minerals through chemical reactions with water and gases in the environment.

What Sediments that are formed from seawater as a result of a variety of chemical processes are called?

Sediments formed from seawater through various chemical processes are called chemical sediments or authigenic sediments. These sediments typically result from the precipitation of minerals as seawater evaporates or undergoes changes in temperature and salinity. Common examples include limestone, which forms from calcium carbonate, and evaporites such as gypsum and halite. These sediments play a significant role in marine geology and the formation of sedimentary rock.

What is the movement of rock particles by water ice or gravity?

Erosion. Weathering is the physical and chemical breakdown of rock. Erosion is the removal of of weathered sediments. Transport is the movement of weathered sediments (say in suspension in river water) during the erosion process. Deposition is the laying down of the transported sediments in a new location.


What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?

The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
