Igneous is basically fresh out of a volcano. There are two types: rocks that got cooled slowly, and those that were cooled really fast. After a while, these rocks will break down into sediment, and will form into layers. Then the sediment will go through cementation, where they stick together. At that point, its sedimentary rock! (Like sandstone, in the Grand Canyon!)
What else can I help you with?
What kind of rocks form when other pieces of rock and matter gather into layers?
a sedimentary rock is formed. depending on which rocks were squished, you can get different rocks
Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
How many types of rocks?
There are lots of different types of rocks in the world.
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 is the primary basis for distinguishing different chemical sedimentary rocks?
The primary basis for distinguishing among different rocks in the chemical sedimentary rock group is their mineral composition. (p.150 Essentials of Geology 10th edition Classification of Sedimentary Rocks)
What makes igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks different from each other?
The way in which they were formed.
How are clastic sedimentary rocks different from organic sedimentary rocks?
they form
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
What rock makes up ten percent of all sedimentary rocks?
Limestone makes up ten percent of all sedimentary rocks.
What makes a sedimentary rock different from other types of rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments, such as sand or mud, over time. This process sets them apart from igneous rocks, which form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, and metamorphic rocks, which are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks often contain fossils and layers, making them unique in their composition and appearance.
What makes the 3 types of rocks different?
The three types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - are different in terms of how they are formed. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten material, sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of mineral and organic particles, while metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure within the Earth's crust.
What do sedimentary rocks form from?
Sedimentary rocks form from a few different things. Sedimentary rocks form from sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind and gravity.
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
What are sedimentary rocks shaped like?
No two sedimentary rocks are shaped the same, there are many different shapes
Which is what is a common minerals found in both organic and chemical sedimentary rocks?
Mica and feldspar are usually found in sedimentary rocks
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
