How is igneous rock changed into sedimentary rock?

The surface of igneous rock is broken down over time through erosion processes into smaller particles and eventually sediment, it can be through different erosion processes such as water erosion. Sedimentary rock is formed through layers and layers of sediment being deposited upon each other and the resulting pressure eventually compresses into sedimentary rock over millions of years.


What is a stratified aquifer?

A stratified aquifer is a type of aquifer where permeable layers of rock or sediment are stacked on top of each other, with water flowing more easily through some layers compared to others. This creates distinct zones within the aquifer with different levels of water flow and storage capacity.


What builds up layer after layer of sediments pile up on top of each other?

Why are earth rock layers different?

Rock layers are different and unique to each other due to the fact that each layer represents a time period. They are formed when rock, sediment, and minerals settle into one place for a long time and harden when another layer goes over it. Reading rock layers allow geologists to determine how much time has passed. They even sometimes tell of the history of the earth and all of the disasters that have occurred in each era.


What is it called when the rock layers form parallel to each other?

When rock layers form parallel to each other, it is called stratification. This process occurs when sediments settle and accumulate in horizontal layers over time, resulting in distinct bands or layers of rock.

How is sedimentray rock made?

There are to ways sedimentary rock is formed. One way is compaction; which is when layers of sediment are squished together to form rocks. The latter is cementition: which is when large sediment particles are laid on top of each other meanwhile trapping smaller sediment in between the larger ones thus cementing them together to form rocks

How are the layers of the earth different from one another?

Because there different kind of layers and they each are totally different from each other!


What does the ozone layer do to the other layers in earth's atmosphere?

There is no interaction of ozone layer with other layers. All of them are independent of each other.
