Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical 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.
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.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Do other planets have sedimentary rocks?
Yes, other planets in our solar system also have sedimentary rocks. For example, the Mars rover Curiosity has discovered sedimentary rocks on Mars. These rocks formed through processes like erosion, deposition, and lithification, similar to how sedimentary rocks form on Earth.
Are sedimentary rocked by the weathering of other rocks?
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).
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical 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.
Do sedimentary rocks come from the center of the earth?
No. Sedimentary rocks form relatively close to the surface. No rocks that we have access to come from the planet's center.
What kinds of rocks did the sand come from at Great Sand Dunes?
Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
Sedimentary rocks come from what source?
You answer it.
Where does sedimentary rock come from originally?
A sedimentary rock is made from the products of the erosion of other rocks. These could be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. If you wish to know the original rock from which sedimentary and metamorphic rocks came from, you have to go back to when the Earth formed. In this case, the answer would be an igneous rock.
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
The orgin of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks come from the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
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.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Where are sedimentary rocks from?
Sedimentary rocks come from deposited sediment that are cemented together (usually in water) to form these types of rocks. The rocks are made out of weared-down shells, rocks, inclusions (rock particles) and sand as well as pebbles or other particles. Hope that helps.
Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Do other planets have sedimentary rocks?
Yes, other planets in our solar system also have sedimentary rocks. For example, the Mars rover Curiosity has discovered sedimentary rocks on Mars. These rocks formed through processes like erosion, deposition, and lithification, similar to how sedimentary rocks form on Earth.
