What rock is made of compressed and hardened clay?
Clastic sedimentary rocks, like shale and sandstone.
Is Mount Everest sand stone?
Mount Everest is made of sedimentary rocks such as shale limestone etc
How can sedimentary rocks be classified?
Sedimentary rocks can be classified based on their composition, texture, and the way they were formed. Common classifications include clastic, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks. Clastic rocks are made of fragments of other rocks, while chemical rocks form from dissolved minerals. Organic rocks are made from the remains of plants and animals. Texture can also help classify sedimentary rocks, such as fine-grained, coarse-grained, or conglomerate.
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
The three main types of rocks are igneous, formed from cooling lava or magma; sedimentary, formed from compressed layers of sediment; and metamorphic, formed from existing rocks that undergo high heat and pressure.
Is granite gneiss marble limestone shale or basalt an igneous rock?
These are sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand. Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay. Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.
Are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
What are sedimentary rocks made up of?
Sediment, compressed dead solid organisms.
What are organic sedimentary rocks made from?
Plants and Animals
What are sedimentary rocks made of lava or magma?
Neither. Sedimentary rocks are made out of sand, silt, clay, etc. Over time these can accumulate, and under sufficient pressure they are compressed into rock.
Are clam shells sedimentary rocks?
Yes, clam shells are made of calcium carbonate, which is a common mineral found in sedimentary rocks like limestone. Over time, these shells can become compressed and buried, eventually forming sedimentary rocks through the process of lithification.

Clastic sedimentary rocks, like shale and sandstone.

Are all sedimentary rocks made of loose pieces of rocks and minerals that have been joined together?
Not necessarily. It's possible for sedimentary rock to have embedded rocks and minerals. It is also very possible for sedimentary rock to be smooth and appear almost uniform. Sandstone is often made up of compressed layers of fine-grained sand crystals.
How is a sedmentary rock form?
sediment gets compressed together over long periodsmof time and with heat they get compacted into rocks
What are the particles in sedimentary rocks called?
Sedimentary rocks are made from particles called sediment. They are made from layers of sediment (small particles) on the bottom of rivers or seas. The sediments are compressed as more layers build on top of them. The particles then become cemented together to form solid rocks. The layers of rock are called strata. Sedimentary rocks have a grainy structure and they easily crumble.
How can sedimentary rocks be classified?
Sedimentary rocks can be classified based on their composition, texture, and the way they were formed. Common classifications include clastic, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks. Clastic rocks are made of fragments of other rocks, while chemical rocks form from dissolved minerals. Organic rocks are made from the remains of plants and animals. Texture can also help classify sedimentary rocks, such as fine-grained, coarse-grained, or conglomerate.
How are sedimentary rocks mader?
There are different ways sedimentary rocks are formed. Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken pieces and particles of other rocks, [which is a reason why the name was given to these types of rocks (sediment)] and these bits get cemented together. These types of sedimentary rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks are another type that comprise of mineral crystals, like gypsum and halite. Lastly, organic sedimentary rocks are made of, well...... organic materials. They are made of the remains of once living organisms and contain the remains of living creatures such as clam shells, plankton skeletons, dinosaur bones, and plants.
