What are the three types of rock and their formation?
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
What sedimentary rock would be formed from particles 2 to 4 centimeters in diameter cemented by a fine-grained matrix?
a sediment contains particles that range in diemeter from 2 to 4 cm. which sedimentary rock would be formed when this sediment is compressed and cemented
How are metamorphic rocks formed Tell it in a way that a grade 4 can understand it?
Basically a bunch of rocks come together( are pressed together by heat and pressure) in a process called Lithification , those rocks can be either Sedimentary or Igneous rocks.
Where would you most likely find the oldest rock and why?
The oldest rocks are typically found in continental crust regions, particularly in shield areas, which are exposed portions of the ancient crystalline basement rocks. These regions, such as the Canadian Shield or parts of Greenland, contain rocks that have remained relatively undisturbed by tectonic processes. The age of these rocks can often reach over 4 billion years, reflecting the planet's early geological history. Additionally, igneous and metamorphic rocks in these areas are less likely to have been recycled or altered compared to younger sedimentary rocks.
When will season 4 of 30 rock be released?
Season 4 of 30 Rock was released on September 21, 2010.
Are pebbles classified as a sedimentary rocks?
No, pebbles are small, rounded fragments of rock that can be found within sedimentary rocks, but they are not considered sedimentary rocks themselves. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and solidification of sediments over time.
What are the main things about sedimentary rock?
Usually, sometimes sedimentary rocks can be found creating on the side of pool's. And even though sedimentary rock is small, they can be used for big thing. Like houses, or even sculptures. 6 billion years ago when the earth was forming there were no Sedimentary rocks, as well as metamorphic, but there were igneous rocks. It was 3.9 billion years ago when the first sedimentary rocks began to appear!

What are the parent rocks of the metamorphic rock?
Parent rocks of metamorphic rocks can include sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and other metamorphic rocks. Some common parent rocks are shale, granite, and basalt. The mineral composition and texture of the parent rock influence the characteristics of the resulting metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary rocks formed from broken fragments of other rocks are?
called clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are made up of different sizes of rock fragments that have been eroded, transported, and then deposited in layers. Over time, these layers are compressed and cemented together to form solid rock.
What are the 4 types of sedimentary rocks?
There are only 3 types of sedimentary rocks and they are...Clastic RocksChemical RocksOrganic rocks
Show you the 4 stages of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rock can form in more than one way. The bulk of sedimentary rock is clastic sedimentary rock, formed from the weathering and erosion of existing rock. The steps in its formation are listed below. Numbers 4 and 5 are often listed together as the process of lithification. For further explanation of sedimentary rock formation, see the related question below.Weathering of pre-existing rock into smaller pieces.Erosion and transportation of weathered rock particles (sediments).Deposition of eroded sediments.Compaction of deposited sediments.Cementation of compacting sediments.
What two parts of the rock cycle are represented by step 4 and 5?
Step 4 of the rock cycle typically represents the process of sedimentation, where eroded materials settle and accumulate in layers, forming sedimentary rocks. Step 5 usually involves the metamorphism of these sedimentary rocks, where heat and pressure transform them into metamorphic rocks. Together, these steps illustrate the transition from sediment to a more complex rock type, highlighting the dynamic processes within the rock cycle.
What are the main thing about rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are; 1. Stratified. 2. Composed of Fossils.. 3. Non-crystalline. 4. Generally less resistant to weathering.
What part of the sedimentary of rock is the oldest?
Protolith is a term used to describe the parent rock of a metamorphic rock. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that can be composed of clasts of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks, or any number of combinations of all.
What 5 steps are in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle involves 5 main steps: (1) formation of rocks through cooling and solidification of magma/lava, (2) weathering and erosion breaking down rocks into sediments, (3) transportation of these sediments by natural forces, (4) deposition and compaction of sediments to form sedimentary rocks, and (5) metamorphism of existing rocks due to heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
What is the sequence of events that form clastic sedimentary frocks from solid rocks?
The formation of a clastic sediment and sedimentary rocks involves five processes: 1. weathering 2. erosion 3. transportation 4. deposition 5. lithification
