because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
No, any type of rock can become sedimentary rock, because sedimentary rock refers to any rock that has been eroded, and pressure has been applied to it so as to solidify it from a granular state.
Any type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion. This involves the breaking down of existing rocks into sediments, which are then compacted and cemented together to form new sedimentary rock.
Surface water is required for sedimentary rock to form. There is no surface water on any planet in our solar system at the present time, except of course earth. It appears there WAS water on Mars, perhaps as recently as a billion years ago, where sedimentary rocks may have formed. Refer to links below.
They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.
dolomite is a MINERAL. it is NOT considered a sedimentary rock of any kind. sedimentary rocks are composed of minerals, fragments or particles of other rocks(sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous) and/or organic material, and may or may not contain dolomite. to help you understand: if you think of dolomite as a pure element, then sedimentary rocks are mixtures of different elements
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Yes, there are lots of sedimentary rocks in the world. If you ever go to Palm Springs, and u did underground, you will find several sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks are made out of sediments.
Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic rocks are the 3 types of rocks.
No, any type of rock can become sedimentary rock, because sedimentary rock refers to any rock that has been eroded, and pressure has been applied to it so as to solidify it from a granular state.
Sedimentary rocks are made from the accumulation and compression of weathered and eroded pieces of other rocks, minerals, and organic material such as plant and animal remains. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to plant material. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ice, etc. before they are deposited and lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.

No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
there arent any.
Yes, there are rocks on the moon!
