How does a sedimentary rock contain pieces of igneous rocks?
Igneous rock pieces can stick together through cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
How does a rock change into sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
What types of minerals are clastic sedimentary rocks made of?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of broken pieces of preexisting rock that are compacted together. The mineral quartz makes up sixty percent of the clastic sedimentary rocks.
What are 3 ways to classify clastic sedimentary rocks?
pieces of rock
What is A sedimentary rock that is made out of small pieces of existing rocks or minerals said to be?
It is said to be a clastic sedimentary rock.
What is a sedimentary conglomerate rock?
rock made up of big pieces cemented together (sedimentary-pieces, conglomerate-big pieces)
How does a sedimentary rock contain pieces of igneous rocks?
Igneous rock pieces can stick together through cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
Forms as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together?
Sedimentary rocks form as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together. The process of forming sedimentary rocks is lithification.
What are pieces of rock and organic material pressed together?
sedimentary rock
What do pieces of sediment that have been pressed and cemented together form?
Sedimentary rock.
Pieces of rock and organic material pressed together form what?
sedimentary rock
Pieces of rock and organic material pressed together form?
They form sedimentary rock.
Can a metamorphic rock break in half then one half turns into a igneous rock and the other into a sedimentary rock?
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
When pieces of an ancient redwood become squeezed together and harden this will most likely become what k?
Sedimentary! (:
What are methamorphic rocks?
When 2 plates collide, they cause the rock to break apart down to sediamentary rock. Then, the sedimentary rock forms mountains of metamorphic rock, through heat and pressure. METAMORPHIC ROCK IS MAKE OF BROKEN DOWN, SMALLER PIECES OF ROCK THAT HAS BEEN COLLIDED TOGETHER.

How does metamorphic rock become sedimentary rock?
Through weathering and erosion of the metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock, exposed to weathering processes at the surface, breaks into smaller pieces. Erosional processes transport these pieces to a place of deposition where they build up, layer on layer. Eventually the compaction caused by the weight of the sediments above reduces the amount of space and water between particles. In this process of rock formation known as lithification, cementing minerals are formed out of the slowly disappearing fluids, which are saturated with mineral components. Once cemented together, it is now considered sedimentary rock.
