when sediment falls into the sea it forms into sedimentary rock which then turns into metamorphic rock and back again it comes from the volcanoes it plays a major role in the rock cycle

Which river does not form any delta at its mouth?

A river which arrives at the sea which has a high tidal range will not form a delta. This is because the change in the tidal area will wash the sediment brought down by the river away. It is the build up of sediment brought down by the river into a relatively tideless sea which forms the delta.

How do fossils get inside a cave?

Not sure quite what category this question was in originally, but to give a straight answer the fossils were actually within the cave's surrounding rock as that formed from a sea-bed sediment deposit.


What is it called when a sediment drops to the bottom of the sea?

When sediment drops to the bottom of the sea, it is known as sedimentation. This process occurs when the forces causing the sediment to be suspended in water weaken, allowing the particles to settle.


Where does sea sediment Jasper come from?

Sea sediment jasper is a type of jasper that is often found near the shores of oceans, where sediments have accumulated over time. The unique patterns and colors in sea sediment jasper are a result of different minerals and compounds being deposited in the sediment layers that eventually solidify into jasper.


Why do rock and not fossils form sedimentary rock and not igneous rock?

Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.


What causes a river to deposit sediment?

Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77


How does sediment get deposited?

Sediment is eroded (mainly) rock carried down stream by a river. As the river flow slows heavier particles fall and settle on the river bed. Lighter particle are carried the furthest out into the sea, where they too settle on the sea floor. Storms, floods and shifting tidal currents can alter or change the amount of sediment the river carriers and the rate at which the sediment settles in the sea. The finest sediment is known as silt, and is the slippery mud that lines the tidal estuary creeks where the river flow is the least.

What minerals are found on the seafloor?

the sea floor is mainly made up of hard sea/bed rocks through which water cannot penetrate. over this sea bed the shells of marine organisms like echinodermata(starfish, sea cucumber etc.,) die and decompose to form LIMESTONE Ca CO3.
