The Rock cycle is a process whereby all types of rock are formed then eroded and "recycled" through different depositional processes. Sedimentary rocks can provide evidence that the rock cycle exists by looking at it under a microscope. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of grains of different sizes shapes and compositions. By detemining the compositions of the grains within a sedimentary rock through a petrographic microscope or through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) then it can be seen that some grains are composed of minerals that are solely igneous in origin. Likewise, sedimentary rocks can be metamorphosed to form meta-sediments.
What else can I help you with?
Where would you find a rock with fossils in it?
You can find rocks that are sedimentary rocks which are found in mountains, rivers and near the seashores.
Can you find desert rose rocks in Hawaii?
No, desert roses are formed in sedimentary rocks and Hawaii is primarily igneous rocks.
What features of sedimentary rocks are unlikely to be found in metamorphic rocks what features of metamorphic rocks do not occur in sedimentary rocks?

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 chemically weathered?
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
Would you find fossil in sedimentary rocks?
Yes, you can find fossils in 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.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Which is not the process in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
how does the fossil record provide evidence for evolution?!
In what type of rocks could you find fossils?
Fossils are principally found in sedimentary rocks and also in some metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
How can you find out what minerals are in sedimentary rocks?
Examin it
Which is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
What is something paleontologists often will find inside of sedimentary rocks?
more rocks!
In what type of rock would geologist most likely find evidence of past life forms?
Geologists would most likely find evidence of past life forms in sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can preserve fossils of organic materials like plants and animals. Sedimentary rocks are often rich in fossils and provide valuable information about past life on Earth.
What type of rock is a fossil?
A fossil is evidence of an organisms existence, not a type of rock. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.
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
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.
