What is the process where sedimentary rocks are broken down?
Erosion.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
Does a sedimentary rock crumble?
That's when the rocks it goes through the process of erosion.
What role does weather and erosion have in the change of igneous rock to sediment?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones). Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
how is sedimentary rock are susceptible to erosion?
how is marble an example of metamorphic rock#
What role does wind and water play for sedimentary rocks?
weathering and erosion helps to build sedimentary layers then sedimentary rocks
How can igneos rocks become sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
Where did sediment come from?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.
What is the process where sedimentary rocks are broken down?
Erosion.
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from deposits carried away from their source by water wind or ice?
Silting. Erosion.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
What types of rocks are created from erosion and deposition?
Erosion and deposition can lead to the formation of sedimentary rock.
Are sedimentary rocks affected by weathering and erosion?
All rocks are, once on the surface exposed to "the elements".
Which sedimentary rocks are derived from weathered particles?
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.
Crystalline sedimentary rocks?
All sedimentary rocks are made by of deposition of the products of erosion either on land or more usually in water. Crystalline sedimentary rocks can be produced by the evaporation of a brine.
How can an igneous rock become a sedimentary rocks?
Yes, after erosion and deposition.
