How are sedimentary rocks formed, and can you explain it in a fun and easy way for kids to understand?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when tiny pieces of rocks, minerals, and organic materials are pressed together over a long time. Imagine it like making a sandwich with layers of different ingredients squished together. Just like how you layer ingredients in a sandwich, sedimentary rocks are made up of layers of different materials that have been compacted and cemented together. So, sedimentary rocks are like nature's sandwich, made by squishing and stacking different materials over time!
What are the names of the organic sedimentary rocks?
Examples of sedimentary rock include:BauxiteLimestoneDolostoneBrecciaConglomerateShaleMudstoneBituminous CoalSandstoneHaliteGypsumChalkCoquinaLateriteArkoseGraywackeClaystoneSiltstoneChert
What rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure?
Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and shale, form from layers of materials that accumulate and undergo compaction and cementation over time. These rocks typically contain fossils and provide important clues about Earth's history.
Are sedimentary rocks high density or low density?
Sedimentary rocks typically have a lower density compared to igneous and metamorphic rocks due to their composition, which includes minerals and organic materials that are less dense.
Do magnets have the same properties as sedimentary rocks do?
No, magnets and sedimentary rocks have different properties. Magnets have the property of attracting certain materials like iron, while sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediment over time. Sedimentary rocks do not exhibit magnetic properties unless magnetic minerals are present in their composition.

What are the ingredients in sedimentary rocks?
The ingredients in a sedimentary rock is sand and sediment because thats what forms it.
Sedimentary rocks come from what source?
You answer it.
What are rocks called when they are formed by sand rocks and shells?
Rocks formed from sand, rocks, and shells are known as sedimentary rocks. Sandstones, mudstones, and limestone are common examples of sedimentary rocks that can be formed from these materials.
What type of rocks forms when materials from dead plants and animals is deposited and hardens into rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What type of rock forms from materials that settle and accumulates?
Sedimentary rocks.
What are the main sub-categories Sedimentary Rock?
The main sub-categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of fragments of pre-existing rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions. Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of organic materials, such as plant or animal remains.

Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
What rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure?
Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and shale, form from layers of materials that accumulate and undergo compaction and cementation over time. These rocks typically contain fossils and provide important clues about Earth's history.
What are sedimentary rocks of weathered rock fragments called?
Sedimentary rocks made of weathered rock fragments are called clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of fragments that have been weathered, eroded, and transported from their original source. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
