Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Are all rocks the same if not why?
nope < they are like snowflakes all one of a kind . i think they are all the same because sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock can change into one another during the rock cycle so yes they are the same
How are clastic non clastic and organic sedimentary rocks the same?
They are all Sedimentary
What happens to a fossil when the sedimentary rock it was in turned into a metamorphic rock?
As in what process causes this? if so it is usually under heat and pressure. Depending on what kind of rick it is depends on the resultant metamorphic rock e.g Shale-->Slate etc
Is volcanic rock older than sedimentary rock?
Not necessarily. There are volcanic rocks that date back to the precambrian time, much older than most sedimentary rocks around today. At the same time, as there is still continuous volcanic activity on earth, some volcanic rocks may be only minutes old, making them the youngest rocks on earth.
How do a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock?
sedimentary rocks change the same way any other rock would: heat and pressure
How are the sedimentary rock the metamorphic rock and the igneous rock the same?
They all contain minerals.
How does a sedimentary rock change into another type of sedimentary rock?
By the same process used to make any other sedimentary rock. The original rock will break down through weathering into small particles, erode to a place of deposition, undergo compaction and cementation, creating a new sedimentary rock.
What is the size of a clastic sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are solid and can break into bit (rocks) of various sizes. However, if you mean what are the sizes of a "clast" in a clastic sedimentary rock then the answer is the same. A "clast" is a fragment of rock that is included in a new forming sedimentary rock - the term "clast" does not imply a size and indeed in a clastic sedimentary rock the clasts are frequently of many sizes.
How do sedimentary rock change metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
How a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock can be broken down in the weathering process, the same as any other type of rock. Once the weathered material is deposited, compacted, and lithified (turned to rock), it becomes a sedimentary rock.
Is chalk and shale the same thing?
No. Chalk is a variant of limestone, composed primarily of calcite. It is a carbonate sedimentary rock. Shale is a laminated sedimentary rock composed of silt and clay sized particles of mostly silicate mainerals. It is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
Which property is more important for each sedimentary rock type?
Composition is more important because it tells what a rock is made of. While the texture of a rock can be the same as many other types.
Why does granite stay the same over years?
its a sedimentary rock and contains grains
What is a valid statement about rock formation?
Sedimentary rocks form the same as they did in the past.
