What else can I help you with?
Rocks changed in form from sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Are meatmorphic rocks and also perhaps soil.
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
What rocks form in layers from broken rock shells plants and other materials?
Detrital Sedimentary Rock
What are the particles in sedimentary rocks called?
Sedimentary rocks are made from particles called sediment. They are made from layers of sediment (small particles) on the bottom of rivers or seas. The sediments are compressed as more layers build on top of them. The particles then become cemented together to form solid rocks. The layers of rock are called strata. Sedimentary rocks have a grainy structure and they easily crumble.
What are the tree types of rocks according to origin?
The three types of rocks according to origin are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and compaction of mineral and organic particles, often in layers. Metamorphic rocks arise from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids.
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
What kind of rocks form layers?
sedimentary
What type of rocks form in layers and have fossils in them?
sedimentary
What are rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of rock particles are compacted or cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Where can strata can be found sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Strata can be found in sedimentary rocks, which form in layers over time as sediments accumulate and compact. Igneous rocks, which form from molten magma cooling and solidifying, do not typically have distinct layers or strata.
How do small particles form sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the layering of materials, as new layers are added, they compress the lower layers which eventually physically adhere together.
Rocks produced pieces of other rocks plant and animal matter or dissolved minerals collect to form rock layers are called?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when pieces of other rocks, plant and animal matter, or dissolved minerals collect and are compressed together to form rock layers. Over time, these layers become cemented together to create solid sedimentary rocks.
How do metamorphic rocks form from metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sand, silt or clay, sometimes mixed with pebbles, and the bodies of living things (that may the be fossilised) The rocks are often quite soft. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks (usually sedimentary rocks) are subjected to extreme heat and/or pressure, usually deep underground. The rocks are changed in form, often becoming harder. Fossils are usually destroyed by the process.
Rocks changed in form from sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Are meatmorphic rocks and also perhaps soil.
These rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure.?
Sedimentary
Why can only sedimentary rocks contain in tact fossils?
Sedimentary rocks form three horizontal layers: strata, singular and stratum. The organisms that fall into the sedimentary rocks, will then be fossilized in each layer.
What are the layers found in sedimentary rocks called?
The layers found in sedimentary rocks are called strata. These are horizontal layers of sediment that have been deposited over time and then compacted and cemented together to form rock. Each layer represents a different time period in Earth's history.
