What else can I help you with?
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.
Why do sedimentary rocks often form layers?
because all the different types and weights of the sediments means that some fall through the water faster than others so when they compress into rock the heaviest sediments will be at the bottom etc.
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
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
Which factor can transport sediments?
Sediments in sedimentary rock can be transported by wind, water, or glaciers
What is unlithified sediments?
Unlithified sediments are loose, unconsolidated particles that have not been compacted or cemented together to form sedimentary rock. These sediments are usually found in areas where deposition is actively occurring, such as riverbeds, beaches, or deltas. Over time, with burial and compaction, unlithified sediments can become lithified and transform into sedimentary rock.
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.
Sedimentary rock from large sediments like rocks and pebbles?
Conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from large sediments like rocks and pebbles. These sediments are cemented together by smaller particles like sand and mud to create a rock with a clastic texture. Conglomerate is often found in areas where there has been significant water movement, such as riverbeds and alluvial fans.
Rock and soil deposited by streams are called?
Sediments.
What forms when rock erode?
sediments
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
