How could you explain the presence of an igneous rock in a bed of sedimentary rock?
Because igneous Rocks can become sediments through weathering and erosion so it could just be a not fully broken up igneous rock
sorry not the best answer but seeing as this is a science 7 question I decided to write it simpler
What else can I help you with?
How could you explain the presence of an igneous rock in a bed of sediments rock?
The sediment from which sedimentary rock is formed originally came from other rocks that weathered away. In some sedimentary rocks, especially breccia and conglomerate, some of those rock fragments can still be identified. If it does not appear to be part of the sediment, there are a few possible explanations depending on their relationship. If there is a layer of igneous rock between sedimentary layers then it could be from a volcanic eruption that occurred during the time of sedimentation, or a sill that intruded between layers after they formed. If the igneous rock appears to cut through the sedimentary rock then it most likely is an intrusion. If there is a piece of igneous rock that happens to be in an area where the local bedrock is sedimentary then it may have been transported there by glaciers.
Are pebbles igneous rocks?
No, pebbles are not necessarily igneous rocks by default. Pebbles can be formed from a variety of rock types, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, depending on the geological processes that created them.
What can an igneous turn into during the rock cycle?
During rock cycle an igneous rock could turn into any of the three types of rock. It could undergo weathering and form sediments which results to sedimentary rocks, it could also under intense temperature and pressure without melting to form metamorphic rock and can also become part of molten magma to form igneous rock again.
Is chalk a type of igneous rock?
limestone or could be gypsum Could be chalk. Dip it in vinegar. If it fizzes, it might be a sedimentary carbonate rock like limestone or chalk. There is always a possibility it is another kind of sedimentary rock or possibly an extrusive igneous one. Testing is needed to be sure.
Can sedimentary rock be formed to any other rock?
yes it can be buried so deep it could turn into a metamorphic rock, or it could get buried next to a volcano and be molded into an igneous rock.

What rocks can pyrite be found in?
Pyrite could be found in any of the three rock types (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic).
Can the gravel in a sedimentary rock consist of both igneous and metamorphic rock?
Rock contained within a sedimentary rock could be igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, or any combination of the three rock types in origin.
Could a sedimentary and igneous rocks form into a metamorphic rock?
Yes.
How would igneous rock be on a layer of sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock could have been erupted as lava on the surface, or intruded into the sedimentary rock layers as magma underneath the surface (a sill).
Are pebbles igneous rocks?
No, pebbles are not necessarily igneous rocks by default. Pebbles can be formed from a variety of rock types, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, depending on the geological processes that created them.
What type of rock could be formed from the weathering and erosion of metamorphic rock?
A Igneous B Sedimentary
How the mineral Quartz could be in an igneous rock and in a sedimentary rock.?
Because the rock feels like it beotch.
From the rock cycle describe the changes that a sedimentary rock could undergo?
A sedimentary rock could undergo further compaction and cementation to become a metamorphic rock due to increased heat and pressure. It could also melt and solidify into an igneous rock through volcanic activity. If exposed to erosion, it could break down into sediments and form new sedimentary rocks through deposition and lithification.
How can metamorphic become igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can melt under the surface of the earth, and the harden into an Igneous rock. As an Igneous, it could crystalize, or break down into sediment where it can become either Igneous or Sedimentary.
How can igneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Igneous rocks can disturb sedimentary rock layers and formations by their movement during ascent through such layer. when they make contact with this sedimentary rocks they could result to folding and/or metamorphism.
If you found a rock in the ocean or beach what kind of rock is it?
It could be any type of rock (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic).
