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.
When will season 4 of 30 rock be released?
Season 4 of 30 Rock was released on September 21, 2010.
What are the release dates for The Outdoor Room - 2010 Rock and Rock Couple 4-11?

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!

Sedimentary rocks formed from broken fragments of other rocks are?
These are known as clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks. Depending on the size of the clasts they may be claystones (< 4 micro m), siltstones (grain size between 4 and 64 micro m) or sandstones (grain size between 64 micro m and 2 mm). If formed of angular fragments larger than 2mm in a finer grained matrix, this type of rock is known as a breccia. If the fragments are rounded, and larger than 2mm then it is a conglomerate.
What are the 4 types of sedimentary rocks?
There are only 3 types of sedimentary rocks and they are...Clastic RocksChemical RocksOrganic rocks
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.
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 are examples clastic sedimentary?
Sandstone, conglomerate, and breccia are examples of clastic sedimentary rock, composed of particles of other rocks.
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 are the parent rocks of the metamorphic rock?
1. Marble ----- Limestone or dolostone 2. Gneiss ----- Granite or schist 3. Quartzite --- Sandstone 4. Schist ----- phyllite
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
Are pebbles classified as a sedimentary rocks?
No. If it has rounded pebbles, it's probably called conglomerate, a sedimentary rock containing rounded rock fragments from 3/4" to 6' in diameter that may have a sandy matrix. Sandstone is made up of much smaller grains.
4 kinds of sedimentary rocks?
Limestone, sandstone, mudstone and chalk.
