What certain things that form sediment are considered an indicator species?
Protozoans form sediment and are considered an indicator species.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
Lacy or wispy clouds that form at high altitudes?
Lacy clouds that form at high altitudes are cirrus clouds. These types of clouds usually form before there is a change in weather. These clouds form above 20,000 feet, and they indicate fair weather.
What sediment is compacted to form shale?
clay
What type of sedimentary rock would form from sediment 0.0002 cm in diameter?
Conglomerate is the sedimentary rock that would form from sediment of 0.0002 cm diameter.
Can all three types of rock weather and wear away to form sediment?
Yes, though different rocks are more suceptible to weathering than others, depending on the strength and stability of their cement or matrix.
What type of rock weather to form sediment?
erosion
What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Any rock can wear away to form sediment; be it sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
Is a sediment a form of carbon?
yes a sediment is a form of carbon
Why do caves form in only certain types of rocks?
caves are more commonly formed in some types of rock
What is the opposite of weather?
The opposite process can be "lithification" (a form of diagenesis that forms rock from sediment).
Why is weathering important to the rock cycle?
If there is no weather on earth we might not be able to live. weather also brings us food by giving us rain for our crops.
What certain things that form sediment are considered an indicator species?
Protozoans form sediment and are considered an indicator species.
Where can sediment accumulate?
Sediment can accumulate at the mouths of rivers, usually in the form of deltas.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
Process in which sediment is laid down in any location?
First of all there is weathering (erosion) of rocks at some place, they are carried away by wind or water at some other place and deposited there.Layers on layers are deposited to form sediments.
Is sediment easily washed away from erosion?
That IS erosion. When soil gets loose enough that seeds can't take, it is called eutropification, the worst form.
