Describe what happens to sediment as it is changed to sedimentary rock?
It is compacted and cemented by minerals.
What types of rocks are formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments?
Sedimentary rock are formed by cementation and compaction. This happens when sediment particles are compressed and fused together over very long periods of time.
What happens to weathered material once it is deposited and protected from erosion?
It turns into sedimentary rocks.
How do sedimentary rocks get cemented together to form a solid mass from sediment?
This happens because the rock cycle keeps occuring and every time the rock cycle happens the sedimentary rock comes together better and will eventually be a solid mass of sediment
When sedimentary rock is buried what happens?
Nothing, possibly. Metamorphism of sedimentary rock may be dependent on depth of burial, directed pressure, or exposure to high temperatures or hot fluids.
When granite is chemically weathered what happens?
it is changed to a clay form

What physically and chemically happens to tea that is left out?

Yes because the food is chemically changing for example if you eat a hamburger it is not gonna come out as a hamburger when you go to the bathroom because your body digested it which chemically changed it.;)
What happens when matter is changed physically?
It means that although it changes, no new substances are formed. Examples of such changes are melting and other state changes, and dissolving.
What happens when something reacts?
It changes chemically.
What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
What happens when you move a file. Is it deleted from the original location?
No, the file physically rests on the same place in your hard drive. What is changed is a value or a path thru which you can access it.
What happens to igneous rocks when the undergo weathering and erosion?
If eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented, it becomes clastic sedimentary rock.
What happens to cells chemically when they undergo fermentation?
Penis
What happens when a rock and a sedimentary rock form?
nothng
What happens to the characteristics of a substance during a physical change?
The change in characteristics is entirely dependent on how you have physically changed it. However most physical changes effect shape and size.
