Fragmentary sedimentary rock forms from the accumulation and compaction of fragmented materials, such as mineral grains, shells, and organic debris. These fragments are typically derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks. Over time, layers of sediments are deposited in various environments, such as rivers, lakes, or oceans, where they are compacted and cemented together by minerals precipitating from water. This process results in the formation of rocks like sandstone, shale, or conglomerate, depending on the size and composition of the fragments.
What else can I help you with?
How can a sedimentary rock form a new sedimentary rock?
If the original rock is eroded or broken away and then returned to sedimentary-forming conditions, it will form another sedimentary.
Weathered rock materials are pressed and cemented to form?
That forms sedimentary rock.
How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What must any rock in the rock cycle do to become a sedimentary rock?
It must erode into sediment and then be compressed to form sedimentary rock.
What are the main sub-categories Sedimentary Rock?
The main sub-categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of fragments of pre-existing rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions. Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of organic materials, such as plant or animal remains.
How can a sedimentary rock form a new sedimentary rock?
If the original rock is eroded or broken away and then returned to sedimentary-forming conditions, it will form another sedimentary.
How can sedimentary rock form another rock?
Sedimentary rock can form another rock by being tossed and thrown into the water it takes about maybe 10 years for Sedimentary rock to form another rock.
What kinds of rock can form sedimentary rock?
anything can form sedimentary rock; it is caused by the erosion of sediment over time
Weathered rock materials are pressed and cemented to form?
That forms sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock?
Any rock can be broken up and later form a sedimentary rock.
Chalk is an example of what kind of rock?
Chalk is a form of limestone, a sedimentary rock.
Why are sedimantary rocks formed?
eroded rock (from igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) settled. they compact together to form a rock. the rock that they form is known as sedimentary rock
How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What will form if sedimentary rock melts?
metamorphic rock
What rock does conglomerate form?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock.
What happens when a rock and a sedimentary rock form?
nothng
