What else can I help you with?
What type of rock is formed from particles or dissolved minerals from previously existing rocks?
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller particles without a change in composition is called?
Physical weathering.
What parts make up a rock?
Rocks are composed of grains of minerals or other materials bound together. They typically consist of one or more minerals, organic material, or even glass. Rocks can also contain fossils, gemstones, or other inclusions.
What is desert sand made of?
Desert sand is primarily made up of small particles of quartz, feldspar, and other minerals. These particles are created through the erosion of rocks and minerals in the desert environment.
The mechanical breakdown of rocks by the action of other rocks and sand particles is called?
weathering

What are grains (rock)?
particles of minerals and other rocks that make a rock
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller particles without a change in composition is called?
Physical weathering.
What process happens when minerals are precipitated out of water and holds particles of rocks together?
That process is called cementation.
What are Rocks made from fragments of minerals or other rocks called?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
What are some particles of minerals or rocks?
OH and ILH

How does sand have rocks and minerals?
Sand is formed from particles of weathered and eroded rock and minerals.
What is the breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller particles without a change in composition called?
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller particles without a change in composition is called physical weathering. This process occurs through various natural mechanisms, such as freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion, or the effects of temperature changes. Unlike chemical weathering, which alters the chemical structure of the materials, physical weathering maintains the original composition of the rocks and minerals.
What are small fragments of minerals or rocks usually deposited as sediment?
Small fragments of minerals or rocks that are usually deposited as sediment are called sediment particles. These particles can vary in size from clay and silt to sand and gravel, and they are derived from the physical and chemical weathering of rocks. Over time, these sediment particles can accumulate and form sedimentary rocks through the process of lithification.
