What phase of matter are metamorphic rocks?
All rocks are in the solid phase of matter.
Is limestone that is made from shells a organic rock?
Yes, mostly gravel from a landslide, and organic rocks
What is the difference between organic and inorganic rocks?
In general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
What are two major divisions of sedimentary rocks?
mechabic and organic
Can large crystals be found in rocks?
Yes, rocks can contain a variety of crystal sizes.
What is the difference in organic and inorganic rocks?
Organic rocks are those which contain carbon bonds in them. Inorganic rocks dont have carbon (with a few exceptions).
What are rocks which contain organic material called?
the sediment.
Can sedimentary rocks be formed by organic matter?
yes it can.
Is it true all rocks contain organic material?
yes it is true
Substances that contain carbon and come from living things?
It is called organic compounds (made from living organisms, or used to be). It was only in the nineteenth century when organic compounds could be made in the laboratory from inorganic substances (gas, rocks, minerals, etc.)
How does soil from?
Soil is formed by weathered rocks and humus (organic matter)
Do rocks contain non mineral matter?
Rocks contain non-mineral matter. Examples of these are water and gases such as hydrogen and radon. Other compounds like hydrocarbons can also be a component of some rocks.
What contains kerogen?
is a mixture of organic chemical compounds that make up a portion of the organic matter in sedimentary rocks.
How are organic rocks and chemical rocks similar?
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks, as are the bulk of sedimentary rocks classified as clastic (shale, sandstone, conglomerate).
Does The rocks and minerals of the Earth consist of organic compounds?
No, rocks and minerals do not typically consist of organic compounds. Rocks are composed of different combinations of minerals, which are inorganic substances. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.
Why is coal different then other sedimentary rocks?
It is made of almost entirely of organic matter.
Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain?
Sedimentary rocks that are formed organically typically contain fossils. They also have other organic material like calcite and other similar substances.
