A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called?
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called a conglomerate. Conglomerates are made up of rounded or angular fragments of various sizes and types of rocks that have been cemented together.
What is it called when rock forms of small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by disolved mineral material?
This process is called sedimentation or lithification. Sedimentation occurs when small pieces of rocks (sediments) are deposited in layers, and lithification is the process by which sediments are compressed and cemented together by dissolved minerals to form sedimentary rocks.
Rocks carried by the river smash together and break into smaller pieces This process is called?
Abrasion. (~the process of scraping or wearing away)
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What type of physical weathering is caused when rocks scrape together caused small pieces to break off?
AbrasionAbrasion
What are rocks made from larger pieces of sediment called?
Rocks made from larger pieces of sediment are called conglomerate rocks. These rocks consist of rounded pebbles, cobbles, or boulders that are cemented together.

Rocks produced pieces of other rocks plant and animal matter or dissolved minerals collect to form rock layers are called?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when pieces of other rocks, plant and animal matter, or dissolved minerals collect and are compressed together to form rock layers. Over time, these layers become cemented together to create solid sedimentary rocks.
Rocks are made up of broken pieces of other rocks are called what rocks?
saltation
How does a sedimentary rock contain pieces of igneous rocks?
Igneous rock pieces can stick together through cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
Forms as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together?
Sedimentary rocks form as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together. The process of forming sedimentary rocks is lithification.
Rocks carried by the river smash together and break into smaller pieces This process is called?
Abrasion. (~the process of scraping or wearing away)
When rocks are eroded they break down into smaller pieces of minerals and rocks called what?
Sediment.
Are iron ore and iron the same thing?
Iron ores are rocks and minerals clumped together while iron is the refined state.
What are smaller pieces or rocks and minerals called when eroded?
Sediments
What is the second group of rocks that forms from sediments or pieces of broken rock called?
sedimentary rocks
