Which 3 different ways can sedimentary rocks form?

Answer 1

Limestone:

1. Formed from mostly shells

2. Formed when elements that were dissolved in water come out of the solution.

Answer 2

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area. The material will then be transported from the source area to the area of deposition. The type of sediment that is transported to a place depends on the geology of the hinterland (the source area of the sediment). However, some sedimentary rocks, like evaporites, are composed of material that formed at the place of deposition. The nature of a sedimentary rock therefore not only depends on sediment supply, but also on the sedimentary depositional environment in which it formed.

Answer 3

1. Through the accumulation and compression of sediments like sand, silt, and clay over time.
2. From the remains of plants and animals, which can form organic sedimentary rocks like coal.
3. By the precipitation of minerals from water, leading to the formation of chemical sedimentary rocks such as limestone or rock salt.

Answer 4

From the erosion and resedimentation of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rocks.

Answer 5

Well - their name indicates that they were formed by sedimentation processes. Often under the oceans. But depending on the region, there may be notable regional differences.
