A sugar cube looks like a sedimentary rock because, it has small and tiny particals such as those tiny crystals you see in a sugar cube. A sedimentary rock on the other hand, is composed of small sediments, like a sugar cube is composed of small particals and crystals.

What clues or characteristics do you look for i n order to identify sedimentary rocks?

== == Sedimentary rocks may exhibit strata, or layering. Sandstones will have visible sand grains. Limestones will fizz when placed in vinegar. Fossils usually only appear in sedimentary rocks. A rock made of an assortment of other rocks is usually sedimentary.


What is the first step in making sedimentary rock?

The first step in making sedimentary rock is the deposition of sediments. This occurs when particles like sand, silt, and clay settle and accumulate in layers, usually in areas such as riverbeds, lakes, or ocean floors. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.


What is the appearance of sedimentary rocks and how do they typically look?

Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sediment that have been compacted and cemented together over time. They often have visible layers or bands, and can contain fossils or other remnants of past environments. Sedimentary rocks can come in a variety of colors and textures, depending on the types of sediment that were deposited and the conditions under which they formed.


What is the luster streak and hardness of a geode?

Its simple, see a lot of people would have guessed a geode is a mineral or a gem. But its not. Geode is a sedimentary rock so instead of looking for the luster steak and hardness look facts on it like from its sedimentary form. A geode might have minerals in it, but that doesn't make it a mineral itself.


How can you tell if a rock made of small grains is igneou or sedimentary?

Look for signs of banding or layering that would be evidence of sedimentary strata. Banding also occurs in metamorphic rocks, but the bands may be very distinct in color from one another. If the rock scratches with a knife, it may be sedimentary. High silica content in some igneous rocks may prevent scratching with a knife blade.
