A sedimentary rock is made from the products of the erosion of other rocks. These could be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. If you wish to know the original rock from which sedimentary and metamorphic rocks came from, you have to go back to when the Earth formed. In this case, the answer would be an igneous rock.
In a sense they do, but not in the geologic sense that a metamorphic rock does. Most sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of other rocks which could be a mixture of all three types (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic). Therefore they would have multiple parents, so the term "parent rock" is not used. The term most used is "source rock'.
You can find rocks that are sedimentary rocks which are found in mountains, rivers and near the seashores.
Great pressure and heat, but short of the temperature that would completely melt the rock.
organic/biochemical sedimentary rocks are formed of once-living organisms
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
Yes, you can find fossils in sedimentary rocks.
sedimentary rocks change the same way any other rock would: heat and pressure
No, sedimentary rocks generally have higher porosity than metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments, which can leave pore spaces between grains. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, have been subjected to heat and pressure, which can close up or reduce the pore spaces, leading to lower porosity.
No. You would be referring to sedimentary rocks
No sedimentary rocks are found yet. The reason is moon is lack of atmosphere.
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.

Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in three main ways-by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as clastic sedimentary rocks); by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution. Sedimentary rocks include common types such as chalk, limestone, sandstone, and shale. :)
Sandstone, claystone, limestone, or various other type of sedimentary rocks. That answer is WAY wrong the correct answer would be a sedimentary rock.
