What else can I help you with?
Rock and soil deposited by streams are called?
Sediments.
What is a rock that forms when sediments are cemented or compacted together?
It is called sedimentary rock.
What role do rain and wind have in changing one kind of a rock into another kind of rock?
Rain and wind can break down rocks through a process called weathering. This can lead to the formation of sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented together to form a new rock through a process called lithification. Over time, this new rock can undergo further changes through heat and pressure to become a different type of rock.
Water that fills spaces in rock and sediments is called?
groundwater
Changing sediments into sedimentary rock are compaction and?
cementation. Compaction involves the squeezing together of sediments due to the weight of overlying material, reducing pore spaces and increasing density. Cementation occurs when minerals precipitate in the pore spaces, binding the sediments together into a solid rock.

Sediments.
What are bits of rock called?
sediments
What is rock that forms when sediments are cemented or compacted together?
It is called sedimentary rock.
What is a rock that forms when sediments are cemented or compacted together?
It is called sedimentary rock.
What is it called when rock families are formed from the compression of sediments?
Lithification
What is a small rock called?
The smallest type of rock is a pebble. A pebble can be made out of most rocks and is the size of a marble.
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called what?
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called sediments.
Is made of sediments an igneous rock characteristics?
No, rocks made of sediments are called sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock comes from volcanic activity -- lava and the like.
Type of rockformed from sediments called?
A rock formed for sedimentary deposits is called a sedimentary rock. A sedimentary rock which has then undergone metamorphism is called a meta-sediment.
What is it called when sediments are forced together?
When sediments are forced together and become compacted and cemented, it forms a sedimentary rock through a process called lithification.
