What forms when pieces older rocks plants and other loose material get pressed or cemented together?

When pieces of older rocks, plants, and other loose material get pressed or cemented together, they form sedimentary rocks. These rocks are created through processes like compaction and cementation, which help bind the particles together over time.


Broken pieces of what types of rock are deposited into layers and cemented together to form sedimentary rock?

Broken pieces of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can be deposited into layers and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.


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.


What is a layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering?

A layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering is called sediment. Sediment is formed when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by physical, chemical, or biological weathering processes, and then these fragments are transported and deposited by water, wind, or ice. Over time, these sediment layers can become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.


What happens to any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentary rock?

In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.

What are some definitions of sedimentary rocks?

A rock formed as pieces older rock and sediment get pressed or cemented together.


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.


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.

Pieces of rock and organic material pressed together form?

Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone or limestone, are formed when layers of sediment like rock fragments and organic matter are compacted and cemented together over time. This process can occur through the accumulation of materials in environments like river beds, oceans, or deserts.

The pieces become pressed together and form solid and called?

The question needs a better focus. Taking it as read, the pieces become impacted. Or perhaps a bimetallic strip? Or a sedimentary rock?
