Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
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 are sedimentary rocks ad how are they formed?
Rocks made from sediments being compacted & cemented together.
What is the second group of rocks that forms from sediments or pieces of broken rock called?
sedimentary rocks
How can sedimentary and igneous rocks be formed in to metamorphic rocks?
No matter what kinds of rocks they are they can be changed into any other kind of rock. Sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks with either contact or regional metamorphism. This means that either the rocks have been in contact with or close to high heat and high pressure that changes the rock.
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
What type of rock forms when sediments become pressed together?
Sedimentary Rocks.
How do sediments change over time?
The get compacted with burial and dewater. The grains from which they are made become cemented together and the sediments become sedimentary rocks.
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
What are angular sediments?
sedimentary rocks , rocks that rock.
What are rocks made from sediments called?
Sedimentary rocks.
What is the group of rocks that are formed from sediments?
sedimentary rocks
How are sedimentary rocks formed by?
by sediments
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks.
