What is made when sediments fill in a cavity made when an object decayed and the sediments harden into rock?
Cast.
What type of sediments are garnets in?
Sediments which are derived from some schist rock formations might contain garnet.
What kind of rock does not require heat to form?
Sedimentary rock. Because when weathering and erosion occurs to igneous rock, the igneous become sediments and the sediments condense and cool, forming sedimentary rock. Therefore, sedimentary rock doesn't need heat to form.
What rock is formed over millions of years from sediments?
Sedimentary rock. Eg Conglomerate.
How does the rock cycle recycle rocks?
The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
How many ways can rocks or sediments moves to new areas?
There are an unlimited number of ways that a rock or piece of sediment can move to a new area. Animals and water carry these things for example.
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
When many years go by sediments turn into what?
Rock
What type of rock form when glaciers move along mountains and break off sediments?
nothing
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What forms when rock erode?
sediments
What underlies the unconsolidated sediments of the sea floor?
Probably consolidated sediments (sedimentary rock), then the rock basalt.
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
A sedimentary rock is weathered by wind and water The rock breaks down into sediments again If the sediments become cemented what type of rock will be formed?
sedimentary rock
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
What rock is a sedimentary rock formed from?
Sedimentary rock is so named because it is formed from sediments. The sediments could be particles of rock, sand, minerals, or organic material.
