Is lava cooling one of the ways sedimentary rock is formed?
No that is how igneous rocks are formed
What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks is the most common rock type. 75% of all rocks on earth are Sedimentary.
How does Sedimentary rocks change to igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
What type of rock do all rocks start as?
they r pressed together from smaller particles
Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
Are sedimentary rocks made when molten lava cools?
is a sedimentary rock created when lava hardens
Why are fossils found mostly in a sedimentary rock?
Because when the lava killed the animals, their remains stayed in the lava and dried to become sedimentary rock.
Where does sedimentary rock came from?
from volcanoes lava
Is sedimentary rock formed by lava?
no that is igneus
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
What way is not a way of sedimentary rock forms?
Lava cooling
Is limestone a intrusive igneous rock?
No. Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed when calcium carbonate precipitates from the ocean.
How is sedimentary rock relate to magma and lava?
because half of it is made of frozen or either hardend lava so it is related to lava
How would igneous rock be on a layer of sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock could have been erupted as lava on the surface, or intruded into the sedimentary rock layers as magma underneath the surface (a sill).
What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
Where does most sedimentary rock form?
They mostly form in volcano magma or lava.
