How are chemical and organic rocks classified?
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks. They are different because organic rocks are composed of the remains of living things but chemical rocks are formed by inorganic processes such as evaporation.
What is the class that includes sedimentary rocks which are deposited from a solution made by organic processes?
Sedimentary rocks are broken into two classes: clasticand chemical. Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of rock particles, and chemical sedimentary rocks are composed of precipitation of minerals in solution.
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
What type of rock are mostly found in mountains?
volcanic mountains are mostly associated with igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks at their slopes can be found due to weathering,but mountains such as fold mountains can contain igneous rocks,metarmophic ro cks and even sedimentary rocks at their slopes
Gravel sandstone and conglomerate are all types of?
Gravel, sandstone, and conglomerate are all types of sedimentary rocks.
Why do scientists look to sedimentary rocks when studying the history of the Earth?
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
What do sedimentary rocks form from?
Sedimentary rocks form from a few different things. Sedimentary rocks form from sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind and gravity.
Is the sedimentary rock strong?
That depends on the rock. Some sedimentary rocks are used as construction material, or as raw material for different kinds of industries. Older sedimentary rocks have a scientific value as well, as ages of fossils can be determined by studying them.
How can sedimentary rocks helpus learn about earths's past?
it is good
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are fossils in rocks?
Yes, fossils are commonly found in rocks. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms that are typically found in sedimentary rocks, where the conditions were suitable for their preservation over long periods of time. By studying fossils in rocks, scientists can learn about Earth's history and the evolution of life on our planet.
Why have sedimentary rocks been very important to scientist who study how living things have changed over the ages?
Sedimentary rocks provide a rich source of fossils that preserve evidence of past life forms. By studying these fossils, scientists can track the evolution and diversity of living things over time. Additionally, sedimentary rocks help scientists reconstruct ancient environments and understand the conditions in which these organisms lived.
The Law of Superposition is most relevant when studying which type of rock?
The Law of Superposition states that underlying strata are older than overlying strata unless the layers have been disturbed by other processes. Hence the law would be most relevant when studying sedimentary rocks (but not excusively).
Does the composition of a sedimentary rock depend upon the composition of the rocks and the living things its sediments came from?
It is true that the composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the rocks and living things its sediments come from. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification.
What has the author Sam Boggs written?
Sam Boggs has written: 'Petrology of sedimentary rocks' -- subject(s): Sedimentary Rocks 'Petrology of sedimentary rocks' -- subject(s): Rocks, Sedimentary, Sedimentary Rocks
How organic sedimentary rock made?
Organic sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of once living things. Coal is an example of a sedimentary rock.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
