What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks.
What is a rock that forms when sediments are cemented or compacted together?
It is called sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is made up of slowly buried sediments that were later cemented together by dissolved minerals?
Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments are piled on top of one another, then compacted and cemented into rocks. Sandstone and limestone are examples of sedimentary rocks.
What type of rock is formed when layers of loose materials are compacted and cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is formed from the processes of compaction and cementation of sediments.
What sedimentary rocks form when rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
What is the type of sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock is many pieces of things like sand and shells compacted and cemented into a rock
What type of rock is the sedimentary rock?

What type of sedimentary rock is made from compacted mud?
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
What is rock made of bits of sedimentary material that was compacted in layers?
A rock is amineral
What type of rock is formed when layers of loose materials and compacted?
That process, of itself, does not form a particular "type" of rock. what it produces is rock "strata" where the rock involved could be igneous or sedimentary in origin.
What is a rock that forms when the particles are compacted and cemented together?
sedimentary rock.
What rock begins as shale?
It doesn't start out as one it is made by sedimentary rock getting compacted together and water dried out from it and is made from that.
What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks.
What is rock that are compacted and cemented together to form a solid rock?
sedimentary rock.
What sedimentary rock is formed from thin layer of clay compacted very tightly together?
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
What is sedimentary rock composed of compacted clay?
the answer is shale.
What type of rock is made slowly buried sediments that were later cemented together by dissolved minerals?
Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments are piled on top of one another, then compacted and cemented into rocks. Sandstone and limestone are examples of sedimentary rocks.
