This happens because the rock cycle keeps occuring and every time the rock cycle happens the sedimentary rock comes together better and will eventually be a solid mass of sediment

Are volcanic rocks sedimentary?

No. Volcanic rocks are igneous (although not all igneous rocks are volcanic). Sedimentary rocks are made of sediment naturally cemented together. However, volcanic (or extrusive igneous) rocks can be eroded into sediment, which can be cemented, compacted, or otherwise become sedimentary rock such as sandstone or conglomerate. It is then not considered igneous.


What type of rocks are created as layer of sediment?

Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.


What are some definitions of sedimentary rocks?

A rock formed as pieces older rock and sediment get pressed or cemented together.


What is the name of which loose sediment is held together?

The name of loose sediment that is held together is called sedimentary rock. These rocks form when loose sediment is compacted and cemented together over time.


The rock type formed as bits of other rocks are cemented together is?

The rock type formed as bits of other rocks are cemented together is called sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are typically formed through the processes of erosion, deposition, and compaction of sediment particles. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.


What do pieces of sediment that have been pressed and cemented together form?

Pieces of sediment that have been pressed and cemented together form sedimentary rock. This process occurs over thousands of years as layers of sediment accumulate and are compacted under pressure, eventually forming solid rock. Sedimentary rocks can include sandstone, limestone, and shale.


What type of rock is made up of slowly buried sediment that were later cemented together by dissolved minerals?

Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments are piled on top of one another, then compacted and cemented into rocks. Sandstone and limestone are examples of sedimentary rocks.


What is a rock made of layers that are cemented together?

A rock made of layers that are cemented together is called sedimentary rock. It forms when sediments like sand, clay, or organic material are compacted and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.


What type of sedimentary rocks forms when particles of minerals and rocks are cemented together?

Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+


What are sedimentary rocks that are made up of rounded pebbles cemented together called?

Sedimentary rocks made up of rounded pebbles cemented together are called conglomerate rocks. These rocks typically have a coarse texture and are formed through the deposition and lithification of pebbles in a sedimentary environment.


When layers of sediments Are Squeezed Together To Form Rocks Is Called?

It is called sedimentary rock.


What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
