All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Are meatmorphic rocks and also perhaps soil.
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
If any kind of rock-igneous or sedimentary- is far enough beneath the surface, the pressure can change it into a metamorphic rock. Also heat - the effects differ. It doesn't have to be ever so deeply buried, geologically, since metamorphism is usually a orogenic process in the affected sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
No. Sedimentary rocks form relatively close to the surface. No rocks that we have access to come from the planet's center.
Chemical sedimentary rocks form from solutions (water with something in it).
Sedimentary rocks form as a direct result of the deposition of material on the surface of the Earth. They may also form in bodies of water.
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary. Basalt is the most common type of rock and it is igneous.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks often have distinctive layering or bedding.
Some types of igneous and sedimentary rocks can form on Earth's surface.
Sedimentary rocks form at the bottom of bodies of water, as more and more layers of sediment build up above them. Compared to the depths at which metamorphic rocks form, and some of the places igneous rocks form, these are indeed close to the Earth's surface.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
