The sedimentary rock could, for instance, be found on a mountain and be crushed to dust by a huge ice glacier moving over it. The resulting dusty (or bigger) rock particles much later reach the lower end of the glacier and are washed into a lake or into the ocean where they sink to the bottom.
Wait, oh, maybe half a million years, and the particles that sank to the bottom might turn into another sedimentary rock, altogether.
Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.
No, sedimentary rocks can be subjected to heat and pressure, causing them to change into metamorphic rocks through a process called metamorphism. Additionally, sedimentary rocks can also undergo erosion and weathering which can break them down into sediments that can be lithified into new sedimentary rocks.
The three major categories of rocks are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Other kinds of rock can changes to igneous by being melted and then solidifying again. Other kinds of rock can be change to sedimentary by being weathered, then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated. Other kinds of rock can be changed to metamorphic when their structure is altered by great heat or pressure or both.
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.
by the rock cycle :)
sedimentary rocks change the same way any other rock would: heat and pressure
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
other kinds of rocks are sedimentary rock or igneous rock
No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
Yes, through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification, sediments from existing sedimentary rocks can be weathered and broken down to form new sedimentary rocks. The cycle of sedimentary rock formation can involve the breakdown and reformation of older sedimentary rocks.
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks get turned in to metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. They get heated by magma and convection currents, which causes the rock to change.
SEDIMENTARY ROCK FORMATION, begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks
