What are three things that the sediments in sedimentary rocks may be made of?
Sediments in sedimentary rocks may be made of fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic material like remains of plants and animals. These sediments are typically transported and deposited by processes such as erosion, weathering, and deposition.
What is the rock that is made from erosion and deposition of sediments?
The rock that is made from the erosion and deposition of sediments is called sedimentary rock. Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks form from the compression and cementation of layers of sediment over time.
Which rock is made of the smallest sediments?
Claystone. Shale also contains clay sized particles mixed with silts.
What are three different types of marine sediments?
Terrigenous sediments, which originate from land and are composed of materials like sand, silt, and clay. Biogenous sediments, made up of the remains of marine organisms such as shells, coral, and diatoms. Hydrogenous sediments, formed from minerals that precipitate directly from seawater and include materials like manganese nodules and metal sulfides.
Sediments derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents are called?
terrigenous or continental sediments
What is made when sediments fill in a cavity made when an object decayed and the sediments harden into rock?
Cast.
What is earths sedimentary rock made of?
Sediments
What rocks is made of the smallest sediments?
sandstone
What rock is made from the smallest sediments?
Shale
Is sandstone made up of the smallest sediments?
no
Sediments made from microscopic shells that settle to the bottom when the organisms that produced them die are called?
Biogeneous sediments
Is made of sediments an igneous rock characteristics?
No, rocks made of sediments are called sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock comes from volcanic activity -- lava and the like.
A river system is made up of a river and its?
sediments
What are rocks made from sediments called?
Sedimentary rocks.
All rocks are made of sediments?
Not all rocks are, only sedimentary rocks are truly made up of sediments. Some metamorphic rocks do because they are formed when heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rocks, which makes sediments the basis of these rocks as well
How is a beach made?
Ocean water breaks rocks into sediments
What is cost fossil?
made when a mold is filled with sediments or minerals
