Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
When rocks undergo weathering they become?
When rocks undergo weathering, they become smaller in size and break down into smaller pieces called sediments. These sediments can eventually be transported and deposited in new locations, where they may become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
Broken pieces of what types of rock are deposited into layers and cemented together to form?
All types of rock can fragment, and with time, the fragments become deposited in layers which can become buried, then through heat and pressure become cemented together to form a material known as Cliche, which in turn can fuse together through heat and pressure to become what is known as Conglomerate.
When rocks undergo weathering they become what type of rock?
When rocks undergo weathering, they can form sedimentary rocks. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller sediments, which then get compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
How does an ingenous rock change into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and hardens. These rocks can either be weathered/broken down into smaller pieces to become sediment or they can be subjected to heat and pressure causing them to either melt or become metamorphic rocks. If the sediments become cemented together then the rock is a sedimentary rock.
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
What type of rock forms when small grains of rock are pressed together and become cemented?
Sedimentary rock forms when small grains of rock, such as sand or clay, are compressed and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rock include sandstone and shale.

What type of sedimentary rock forms when grains of sand become cemented together?
Sandstone
What type of rock is formed when materials that are deposited in layers become cemented together?

What would have to happen to granite for it to become a sedimentary rock?
It would have to be weathered & the fragments cemented together.
How is conglomerate made?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made up of tiny rounded pebbles cemented together by sediments that pile on top of them. The pebbles become cemented together by minerals like silica, calcite, and iron oxides.
How do sediments change over time?
The get compacted with burial and dewater. The grains from which they are made become cemented together and the sediments become sedimentary rocks.
What type of rock forms when sediments become pressed together?
Sedimentary Rocks.
