No, it can form on land also. Just as long as they go through lithification

What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Can sedimentary rocks form under the ocean?
Yes they can!! they can be formed in marine environments :)
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
What are the four major processes that form sedimentary rocks?
wind water ice gravity
Rocks changed in form from sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Are meatmorphic rocks and also perhaps soil.
What rocks form under water?
sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of small particles are compressed?
The small particles are compressed under water to then form sedimentary rocks
Can sedimentary rocks form under the ocean or on land only?
Sedimentary rocks formed under oceans, but the ocean may no longer be there. The Great Lakes region was once all under water and has much sedimentary rock.
What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks made in water?
Sedimentary rocks are usually formed in water, but not always. Some sandstones, for example, form in deserts.
What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?
the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks
How do biochemical sedimentary rocks form?
Chemical sedimentary rocks form from solutions (water with something in it).
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Some sedimentary rocks form as a direct result of?
Sedimentary rocks form as a direct result of the deposition of material on the surface of the Earth. They may also form in bodies of water.
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
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.
