Sedimentary rocks form through processes such as compaction and cementation of sediments, precipitation of minerals from solutions, and accumulation of organic materials. Key ways include clastic formation from weathered rock fragments, chemical sedimentation from dissolved minerals, and biochemical processes involving organisms. However, sedimentary rocks do not form from volcanic activity or directly from molten magma, which are processes associated with igneous rocks.
What else can I help you with?
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Do all sedimentary rocks bubble in acid?
No. Only sedimentary rocks containing carbonate minerals will bubble with acid.
What is the texture of inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks?
what is the texture of all inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks
What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?
Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.

What All of the following are ways in which sedimentary rocks form EXCEPT A. Lava cooling B. Physical processes C. Chemical processes D. Build up of plant and animal remains?
A. Lava cooling. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and cementation of sediments through physical or chemical processes, or by the build-up of plant and animal remains. Lava cooling forms igneous rocks, not sedimentary rocks.
All of the following are ways in which sedimentary rocks form execpt?
lava cooling
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
Gravel sandstone and conglomerate are all types of?
Gravel, sandstone, and conglomerate are all types of sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
Do all sedimentary rocks bubble in acid?
No. Only sedimentary rocks containing carbonate minerals will bubble with acid.

What rock makes up ten percent of all sedimentary rocks?
Limestone makes up ten percent of all sedimentary rocks.
How are clastic non clastic and organic sedimentary rocks the same?
They are all Sedimentary
What is the name of all three rocks sedimentary igneous and?
Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.
