Is sandstone igneous or sedimentary or metamorphic?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock which is made up of sand grains which have been compressed to form a rock that has very weak bonds holding the grains together. The grains themselves can be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic depending on which rock the grains were eroded from.
Where are rudites?
A rudite is a type of sedimentary rock. This type of rock is found along the shoreline and is made from small grains.
What kind of rock has layers and is made from small grain?
That is correct. A detrital (or "clastic") sedimentary rock is formed by sediment grains that have been weathered and eroded by existing rocks and then deposited as layers.
Are sedimentary rocks made of pieces of other rocks?
sand grains
What rock has parallel bands of dark and light mineral grains?
It is a sedimentary rock

Is mudstone a Metamorphic rock?
Mudstone is the fine grained sedimentary rock that were clays or muds originally.
Can coarse sedimentary rock be made up of pebbles or boulders?
Yes, coarse sedimentary rock can be made up of pebbles or boulders. Coarse sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of larger grains, such as pebbles and boulders, that are transported by water, ice, or wind. These larger grains are typically found in rocks like conglomerate or breccia.
What are the two types of crust and what type of rocks are they made of?
igneous rock and sedimentary rock
Are sedimentary rocks made of pieces of other rocks?
sand grains
What are standstones made of?
Sandstones are made out of sand sized particles or rock grains. Sandstones are clastic sedimentary rock. Some sandstone is composed of feldspar or quartz.
Is sedimentary rock made from solidified lava?
Rock that is formed from volcanoes are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from other layers of grains that are heaving and over millions of years have enough weight squish the grains into a proper rock. This is why the newest rocks are found at the top of layers.
What rock has parallel bands of dark and light mineral grains?
It is a sedimentary rock
What type of rock would have grains cemented together?
That would be a sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock compossed of small grains of sand and quartz and feldspar?
This is the definition of the sedimentary rock shale.
