The difference would lie in the origin of the sediment and largely on the distance the sediment traveled.

How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?
A sedimentary rock becomes another sedimentary rock through erosion. The rock is eroded into bits, carried away, deposited and cemented and then lithified into a new sedimentary rock
What is the composition of a sedimentary rock?
Small solid materials that come from pieces of rocks and living organisms
How have humands used sedimentary rock?
== == There are several different ways that people use sedimentary rocks. The chalk used in classrooms around the world is a type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is used in concrete, building stones, antacids, soil conditioner, and steel making. Coal is another sedimentary rock which is used to produce heat and electricity. Shale is used to make brick. Sandstone is used in construction and glass production.
What are two features geologists use to classify rocks?
Rocks are classified by mineral and chemical composition, by the texture of the constituent particles and by the processes that formed them. These indicators separate rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. They are further classified according to particle size. The transformation of one rock type to another is described by the geological model called the rock cycle.
From the rock cycle describe the changes that a sedimentary rock could undergo?
A sedimentary rock could undergo heat and pressure to become a metamorphic rock, melt into an igneous rock, or get weathered, eroded and deposited into another sedimentary rock
What makes a star's spectrum appear to be different from another stars?
The chemical composition of the star.
How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?
A sedimentary rock becomes another sedimentary rock through erosion. The rock is eroded into bits, carried away, deposited and cemented and then lithified into a new sedimentary rock
What rock used to be another kind of rock?
A metamorphic rock used to be a different rock type, typically sedimentary.
How can sedimentary rock form another rock?
Sedimentary rock can form another rock by being tossed and thrown into the water it takes about maybe 10 years for Sedimentary rock to form another rock.
How can a sedimentary rock form a new sedimentary rock?
If the original rock is eroded or broken away and then returned to sedimentary-forming conditions, it will form another sedimentary.
What is the composition of a sedimentary rock?
Small solid materials that come from pieces of rocks and living organisms
How can a sedimentary rock change into another sedimentary rock F.T.W.?
It can change when it is eroded and weathered.
Can a sedimentary rock change into another sedimentary?
yes but not in a critical way so yes and no
Which process will change sedimentary rock into another sedimentary rock?
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What is to shift from one form to another?
it's conversion
How does the hemoglobin in one organism have a different chemical structure from the hemoglobin in another organism?
Each organism's individuality haemoglobin is different in the sense that it varies based on composition, and each organism has a separate cell life based composition, affecting the haemoglobin.
Composition of inorganic compound?
the composition varies from one compound to another
