Where can strata can be found sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.
Where do sedimentary rocks come from above ground or underground?
Sedimentary rocks come from above ground , because sedimentary rocks form when sediment piles up and sediment is made up of loose particles of clay, silt and sand
How many years are necessary to turn the sediment into sedimentary rock?
many thousands of years
When sediment turns into sedimentary rock does sedimentary rock turn back to sediment?
Sedimentary rocks can turn back into sediment by a process of weathering and erosion.
Is a sediment rock?
Sediment is the stuff that settles at the bottom of a liquid (such as the bottom of a pond). It can include sand and pebbles but also dead plants and animals. If conditions are right, the sediment can dry out and turn into a sedimentary rock (a rock made from sediment). Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils of plants or animals that fell into the "muck" at the bottom of a body of water. Cool, huh?
What do sedimentary rocks begin as?
Sedimentary rock starts as sediment.
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
Why is mudstone a sedimentary rock?
It is made from sediment that has collected, mud is considered a sediment
Can a sedimentary rock turn back into a deposit of sediment?
Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
Is sediment changed into sedimentary rock?
Yes.
How cam you remember sedimentary rocks?
Sediment
What is it when sediment is hardened into sedimentary rock?
weathering
