What kind of sedimentary rock is made of fragments of rocks cemented together by a mineral?
Breccia is the type of sedimentary rock that is made of other fragmented rocks. The mineral that holds the fragments together can be made from the same rock material as the larger fragments, or from a different type of rock entirely.
What holds rocks together?
Rocks are held together by the intergrowth of crystals in igneous and metamorphic rock, or by the cementation of sedimentary particles by a variety of possible minerals like calcite and quartz, in the lithification process leading to sedimentary rock formation.
Soil that has small grains and holds water easily?
Silty soil typically has small grains and holds water easily due to its fine texture and high porosity. This type of soil is good for supporting plant growth as it retains water and nutrients well, but can also be prone to compaction if not managed properly.
Explain the relationship between the age of minerals within a clastic sedimentary rock and the timing of the rock's formation?
Since the rock particles, or clasts, that go into the making of a clastic sedimentary rock are weathered and eroded out of a previous rock formation, logically, they would be older than the cementious material that holds together the newly formed clastic sedimentary rock. Visualize a piece of San Onofre breccia, a sedimentary breccia rock which contains volcanic basalts, metamorphic schists, and other rocks, all cemented together as a sedimentary rock. The pieces of the rock are all from previously formed and eroded rocks. Although the sedimentary rock is fairly new, geologically speaking, the rock parts that make it up are much older.
What holds earth's atmosphere together?
the gravitational force holds its atmosphere together
What holds sediments in sedimentary rock together?
PVA Glue.
What holds the grains of rocks together in rocks?
Minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and calcite act as a binding agent to hold the grains of rocks together. These minerals form crystalline structures that interlock with one another, creating a cohesive rock matrix. Cementing agents like silica, calcite, or iron oxide can also fill in the spaces between mineral grains and act as a glue to bind the rock particles together.
What form of energy that holds atomic nuclei together called?
The strong force holds atomic nuclei together.
What is the name of the cementing chemical that holds the particles in a sedimentary rock together?
The 'cement' in clastic sedimentary rock is most often clay, iron, carbonate, or silicate minerals.
What glue is used to hold grains of sedimentary rock together?
The 'glue' that cements together the particles that make up a sedimentary rock include silica, carbonates, iron oxides, and clay minerals. The formation of these minerals occurs as the sediments are squeezed by overburden pressure which removes excess water, causing precipitate minerals to form. The minerals fill in the voids between particles that was once occupied by water.
Attraction that holds atoms together is called?
bond
What holds sediment in rock?
The sediments in sedimentary rock are held together by precipitated cementing material which is commonly silicate, carbonate, clay, or iron in composition.
What holds a book together?
They are called book-ends.
What kind of sedimentary rock is made of fragment of rocks cemented together by a mineral?
Breccia is the type of sedimentary rock that is made of other fragmented rocks. The mineral that holds the fragments together can be made from the same rock material as the larger fragments, or from a different type of rock entirely.
What is the force called that holds protons and neutrons together?
The force that holds protons and neutrons together in an atomic nucleus is called the strong nuclear force.
What holds your bones together?
Bones are held together by a strong tissue called Ligaments.
What is the tissue in your body called that holds your bones together?
legaments legaments
