What are three ways rock is eroded and three ways rock is. Deposited?
Three ways rock erodes include:Mechanical and chemical weatheringTransportation of the weathered particles to another location.WindIceWaterGravityWays rocks are deposited include:WindIceWaterGravity
What happens to the rock that is eroded from a headland?
The rock that is eroded from a headland is usually transported by erosion processes like waves and currents. It can be broken down into smaller particles and eventually deposited on nearby beaches or carried out to sea. Over time, this process helps shape the coastline and contribute to the formation of new landforms.
What is the process called when eroded rock and soil particles settle?
The process is called sedimentation. It occurs when eroded particles are carried by water or wind and deposited in a new location, forming layers of sediment over time.
What must sediments that are eroded and deposited go through before becoming a sedimentary rock?
Eroded and deposited sediments undergo the processes of compaction and cementation. Compaction involves the squeezing together of sediments due to the weight of overlying layers, while cementation occurs when minerals precipitate in the pore spaces between particles, binding them together to form a solid rock.
What happens to soil and rocks that have been eroded?
Eroded soil washes away and winds up in rivers, and eventually in lakes or oceans where is becomes sediment at the bottom. Rocks can be eroded into sand. Generally, they remain part of the soil, until the soil is eroded.
How does a speck of sand turn into a sedimentary rock?
The grain of sand becomes a sedimentary rock when it gets erosion and is deposited on the bottom of a body of water. Then the eroded sand builds up and becomes a sedimentary rock if there is enough eroded sand.
What happens to igneous rocks when the undergo weathering and erosion?
If eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented, it becomes clastic sedimentary rock.
When metamorpic rock is eroded deposited and cemented what does it turn into?
Sedimentary rock.
Why cant igneous rock turn into sedimentay rock?
Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.

Can intrusive igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock?
Yes and No An igneous rock can not just "become" a sedimentary rock, it first has to be weathered and eroded at the surface of the Earth. The debris produced is then washed away as sediment and deposited elsewhere. This deposited sediment then gradually hardens into a new rock which is a sedimentary rock. Thus until igneous rocks are exposed in outcrop, they remain as igneous rocks.
What occurs when sedimentary rocks are deposited on top of uplifted and eroded metamorphic or igneous rocks?
An uncomformity will occur in the rock record.
What type of rock can become sedimentary?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Is a sedimentary rock mean rock made from fire?
No! The term igneous refers to fire. Sediment refers tomaterial deposited from rocks that have been weathered and eroded.
What types of rocks can become sedimentary rock?
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.
Is soil formed by erosion of rocks?
Weathered and eroded rock that has been deposited in fairly tranquil settings is the basis of soil formation.
Does an igneous rock always becomes a sedimentary rock?
No. There some very old igneous rocks to be found also it is possible for an igneous rock to become a metamorphic rock. Further, igneous rocks can not be turned into a sedimentary rocks directly. They must first be weathered and eroded and only then their detritus and remnants can be deposited as a new sedimentary deposit.
