yes, the forming of sedimentary rocks is a process that is ongoing.
Rocks formed from sand, rocks, and shells are known as sedimentary rocks. Sandstones, mudstones, and limestone are common examples of sedimentary rocks that can be formed from these materials.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Clastic and nonclastic
igneous rocks are formed by cooling lava from volcanos. Obsidian is an igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed by particles being deposited by water. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when heat, pressure, and chemical reactions change existing rocks. Granite is a metamorphic rock.
Clay is formed from rocks by those rocks being weathered to minute particles, those particles being washed in a river and then deposited. As clay is formed of these "sediments" it is sedimentary.
Rocks formed from sand, rocks, and shells are known as sedimentary rocks. Sandstones, mudstones, and limestone are common examples of sedimentary rocks that can be formed from these materials.
Sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of plants and animals are called organic sedimentary rocks. Examples include coal, formed from the remains of plants, and limestone, formed from the shells of marine organisms.
Rocks made from sediments being compacted & cemented together.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.
Rocks formed from broken rocks are known as sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic material. Common examples of sedimentary rocks formed from broken rocks include sandstone, conglomerate, and shale.
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain calcite. Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rocks.
