A sedimentary rock formed from clay deposits?
A sedimentary rock formed from clay deposits is shale.
The sedimentary rock formed when water deposits tiny particles of clay in very thin flat layers is .?
The sedimentary rock formed from tiny particles of clay in thin, flat layers is called shale. I hope this was helpful:)
What do limestone shale and sandstone have in common?
They are all sedimentary rocks. Limestone is formed from calcium-rich sediments, such as deposits of deceased shellfish, shale forms from clay and/or silt and sandstone forms from sand.

What are the rocks formed from sediment deposits?
Sedimentary rocks are mainly the products of the erosion and weathering of any preexisting rock and are also produced by chemical precipitation of certain minerals: salt, calcium sulfate, etc. The product is sorted by water and redeposited, then hardened by pressure and heat to form rock.The rock particles can be clay, silt sandsized or larger like cobbles and boulders
What is sedimentary rock is formed from clay deposits?
Claystone, and shale are sedimentary rocks formed from lithified deposits of clay.
A sedimentary rock formed from clay deposits?
A sedimentary rock formed from clay deposits is shale.
What is sedimentary rock formed from clay deposits called?
claystone
What is a sedimentary rock formed from clay deposits called?
shale
Why is clay sedimentary?
Clay is formed from rocks by those rocks being weathered to minute particles, those particles being washed in a river and then deposited. As clay is formed of these "sediments" it is sedimentary.
Rocks formed from sediments deposits?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment deposits (gravel, sand, silt, clay) over long periods of time either on land or in water (lakes, oceans). As more and more sedimentary layers are deposited, the newer layers exert pressure on the older layers, which compacts the loose particles and cements them together - forming sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed through the precipitation of dissolved minerals to form limestone or dolomite.
What sedimentar rock is formed from thin layers of clay compaced tightly together?
This sedimentary rock is shale. Proof of this is in the introduction of this WikiPedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shale G'day _______________________________________________________________________ PS: Forgive me, but this sounds almost exactly like the question from the "Taken for Granite" sheet, and judging by how recent the question is, I think that you could've gotten this answer if you typed it in google. --Chewy (if you are who I think you are, you'll get who I am)
What materials are found in sedimentary rock?
Oil and gas were formed after layers of organic matter were covered by sedimentary deposits, so are found in or below sedimentary rocks today
