What type of rock is formed by deposition and cementation of sediments?
Sandstone, a sedimentary rock, is formed by the deposition and cementation of small particles of weathered rock and/or minerals above the surface of Earth. Answered by Jaden
What type of rock is formed from particles or dissolved minerals from previously existing rocks?
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
How do geologist classify sedimentary rocks?
They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.
Are sedimentary rocks made of pieces of other rocks?
sand grains

What is formed from layers of tiny particles from weathered rocks?
Detrital sedimentary layers.
How does sand have rocks and minerals?

What rock forms when mineral-rich water evaporates?
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the precipitation from, or evaporation of, water that is saturated with dissolved minerals. In addition, most clastic sedimentary rocks are also formed from the cementing together of sediment particles by the precipitation of minerals from water.
