They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
What are two reasons the particles in a sedimentary rock stick together?
Compression due to pressure from overlying sediments and the presence of cementing substances such as clay and/or iron.
What is compaction and cementation?
Compaction does not necessarily cause materials to stick together. Cementation is more like having a binding material between the layers. Even compaction CAN result in binding together of materials such as sandstone.
How does rock fragments turn into rock?
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
What is a type of rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Breccia
What type of sedimentary rock forms when sediments stick together?

What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)

Limestone, Sandstone.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?

How do sedimentry rock form?
sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments have pressure put on them and they stick together x
What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
What are two reasons the particles in a sedimentary rock stick together?
Compression due to pressure from overlying sediments and the presence of cementing substances such as clay and/or iron.
What type of reaction causes monomers to stick together?
This reaction is called polymerization.
What is compaction and cementation?
Compaction does not necessarily cause materials to stick together. Cementation is more like having a binding material between the layers. Even compaction CAN result in binding together of materials such as sandstone.
When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them what is it called?
