They are not alike: magma is the semi-molton rock layer that forms the mantle. Examples of sediment are the silt (mud) that has dropped out of water to settle on the bottom of rivers or sea; and layers of slate (compressed silt), limestone (the remains of microscopic shelled creatures) and sandstone (compressed sand grains).

What are magma and sediment and how are each formed?

Magma is formed by the heating and cooling of the Earth's crust. Sediment is formed by the soil that is moved downstream from the source of a river to the mouth of the river and the resulting delta.

Does natural gas form from fast or slow cooling magma?

Neither. Natural gas is not a product of magma. It is a product of organic material trapped in sediment as it turns into rock.


How would you define magma based on the illustration in figure two how would you define sediment and sedimentary rocks?

Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. Sediment consists of rock particles, minerals, and organic material that are transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of these sediment particles over time.

Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?

No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.

What is a volcanic dike?

A dike is an intrusive body of volcanic magma that pushes it's way between layers of rocks and sediment.


How would you define magma based on the illustration how would you define sediment and sedimantary rock?

Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. Sediment is small particles of rock or organic material that have been broken down through weathering and erosion. Sedimentary rock forms when these sediments are compressed and cemented together over time.
