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

What are the layers of rock made of?
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.
How are organic rocks and chemical rocks similar?
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks, as are the bulk of sedimentary rocks classified as clastic (shale, sandstone, conglomerate).
Is dolomite clastic or non clastic sedimentary rock?
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
What type of rock can turn into sedimentary rock?
Any rock type; metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous.
Does igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks contain fossils?
No. In general, there are no fossils in igneous or metamorphic rocks, because the high heat and pressure involved would destroy any fossils. Fossils are almost always found in sedimentary rock.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Are there any 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.
What temperature is sedimentary rock formed at?
Sedimentary rocks can be formed at any temperature found on the surface of the Earth. Diagensis of sedimentary rocks occurs at temperatures up to the formation of chlorite (200C) from then on they are metamorphic rocks.
What is sedimentary rocks made of?
Sedimentary rocks are made out of sediments.
What rocks are sedimentary rocks made from?
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to fossils. 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, ants, etc. before they are lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.
Any type of rock?
Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic rocks are the 3 types of rocks.
What made of sedimentary rocks?
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.

Can sedimentary rocks come from other sedimentary rocks?
Yes. Sedimentary rock can weather and form the material for new sedimentary rock.
What type of rocks cannot turn into 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.
What are the layers of rock made of?
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.
How do Sedimentary rocks change to Metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
