How are sedimentary rocks mader?

There are different ways sedimentary rocks are formed. Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken pieces and particles of other rocks, [which is a reason why the name was given to these types of rocks (sediment)] and these bits get cemented together. These types of sedimentary rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks are another type that comprise of mineral crystals, like gypsum and halite. Lastly, organic sedimentary rocks are made of, well...... organic materials. They are made of the remains of once living organisms and contain the remains of living creatures such as clam shells, plankton skeletons, dinosaur bones, and plants.


How is a sedimentary rock is form?

Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of deposition of materials at the surface of the Earth or within water bodies.


Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?

Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.

What are the different ways that rocks are produced?

Rocks are produced through various processes including cooling and solidification of molten magma (igneous rocks), compaction and cementation of sediments (sedimentary rocks), and heat and pressure-induced transformation of existing rocks (metamorphic rocks). Additionally, rocks can also form through processes such as precipitation from solutions and volcanic eruptions.
