Sedimentary rock:
Limestone can be used as a building material, or fired in a kiln to produce powdered lime for scattering on a farmer's field.
Sandstone can be used as a building material.
Slate can be used as a roofing material and a building material.
what group of rocks does sandstone belong to? give a three nameof a elements mentioed? what is the name of one compound mentioned?
sedimentary rocks~ types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water and some examples are limestone, conglomerate, sandstone, and shale
Well, sediment is usually a variety of things mixed together, like soil. In soil, you can see many different things, that's because sediment can contain things such as, dirt itself, leaves, dead organisms-such as plants and remains of animals (like if an animal was killed by another, the dead remains would decompose into small pieces). So, if sedimentary rocks (which basically is compacted soil/dirt) are red, it's something that got mixed into the sediment.
Saturation and deposition.
It is possible for a sedimentary rock to become marble through the effects of environmental conditions such as pressure and temperature. They help to alter the structural and textural characteristics of the rock thereby changing it form and appearance. Limestone is a common sedimentary rock that is transformed in Marble which is a metamorphic rock. The process of changing a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock is called Metamorphism.
Sedimentary rocks are laid down one layer at a time. The layers give information on how the rocks formed.
They can give you clues to how, when and where the rocks formed. :D
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of materials such as sand, silt, and organic matter over time.
Minerals are the building blocks of sedimentary rocks. They are the particles that accumulate and cement together to form these rocks. Minerals like quartz, feldspar, and calcite are commonly found in sedimentary rocks and help give them their unique characteristics.

Sedimentary rock can provide information about past conditions through the fossils it contains, which can indicate the types of plants and animals that lived in that area. Additionally, the sedimentary structure, such as layering and grain size, can give insights into the environment in which the rock was formed, like whether it was a beach, riverbed, or deep ocean floor. Chemical composition of sedimentary rocks can also reveal information about the climatic conditions or chemical processes that occurred in the past.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments in layers over time. They account for about 75% of all rock on Earth's surface. Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale. Fossils are commonly found in sedimentary rocks, making them important for understanding Earth's history.

Sedimentary rocks are most useful for historical geologists because they can contain fossils and provide information about past environments and the Earth's history. Sedimentary rocks also often preserve layers that can be used to determine the relative age of rock formations.
Rock Cycle: Igneous Rock with erosion give sediments which will compact to give Sedimentary Rock which with heat and pressure give Metamorphic Rocks which will melt with heat and pressure to give magma
The basic division of sedimentary rocks is into clastic and chemical rocks. Clastic rocks are formed when grains form a sediment and are then cemented together, as happens with sandstone or shale. Chemical rocks form when solid precipitates out of solution, for instance when calcium carbonate is formed from sea water to give chalk.
