Stratification of sediments and rocks?
Layering
Match the following terms to their best definition. A. Sediment sorting Stratification of sediments and rocks B. Layering Range of particle sizes C. Texture Grain size D. Grain Roundness Loss of edges?
Sediment sorting-Range of particle sizes layering- stratification of sediments and rocks texture- grain size grain Roundness- loss of edges on sediment grains (just took the Quiz of apex!)
What is stratification and why is it important to earth scientists?
stratification- is the process of sediments forming layers it helps to tell scientists how old they are and when did they form on Earth.
What is a brief summary for the section stratification in the Earth space science book?
stratification is the layering of sedimentary rocks. stratification occurs when the conditions of sediments deposition change. the conditions may vary when there is a change in sediment type or of depositional environment. an area that was once a beach to become as shallow ocean is cause by a rise in sea level. stratified layers, or beds, vary in thickness depending on the length of time during which sediments is deposited. beds that has no internal structure is called massive bed.
What are angular sediments?
sedimentary rocks , rocks that rock.
Stratification of sediments and rocks?
Layering
How does stratification develop in sedimentary rocks?
Stratification is the build up of layers. In sedimentary rocks, the sediments keeps building on the rock and eventually forms a layer.
What is Stratification of sediments of rock?
Stratification refers to the layering of sediments.
Where does stratification occur?
Stratification occurs on the ocean floor beds where sediments layer up into layers
What is the layer of sedimentary rock called?
A single layer with consistent characteristics is referred to as a stratum.

All rocks are made of sediments?
Not all rocks are, only sedimentary rocks are truly made up of sediments. Some metamorphic rocks do because they are formed when heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rocks, which makes sediments the basis of these rocks as well
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
How are the layers arranged in undisturbed sedimentary rocks?
Stratification
What is rock stratification?
its is how rocks naturall align up
