It must be exposed, weathered into smaller rock particles, transported by wind, water, ice, or gravity to a place of deposition, covered by additional sediments, compacted, and cemented together by minerals.

Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
What happens to any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentary rock?
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
What processes can transform igneous rocks into sedimentary rock?
In order for an igneous rock to be changed to a sedimentary rock the rock must be weathered down into, well, some form of sediment (sand, gravel, ect.) and then have pressure applied to it to become a sedimentary rock.
Chalk is an example of what kind of rock?
Chalk is a form of limestone, a sedimentary rock.
Which minerals or sedimentary rocks are not likely to occur in association with bedded rock salt?
The minerals or sedimentary rocks that are not likely to occur in association with bedded rock salt is dolomite. It is a major mineral of the sedimentary rock dolostone.
What must any rock in the rock cycle do to become a sedimentary rock?
It must erode into sediment and then be compressed to form sedimentary rock.
What is the process sedimentary to igneous?
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
What must be present for metamorphism to occur?
The changes to the rock must occur in solid form.
How can a sedimentary rock form a new sedimentary rock?
If the original rock is eroded or broken away and then returned to sedimentary-forming conditions, it will form another sedimentary.
How can sedimentary rock form another rock?
Sedimentary rock can form another rock by being tossed and thrown into the water it takes about maybe 10 years for Sedimentary rock to form another rock.
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
What happens to any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentary rock?
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
What must be true for metamorphism to occur?
the process must take place underground~ apex

Which type of sedimentary rock is limestone?
Limestone can occur as a bioclastic or a chemical sedimentary rock.
Chalk is an example of what kind of rock?
Chalk is a form of limestone, a sedimentary rock.

The minerals or sedimentary rocks that are not likely to occur in association with bedded rock salt is dolomite. It is a major mineral of the sedimentary rock dolostone.
