No, in fact plenty of fossils are found in sedementary rocks.


How does granite turn into a sedimentary rock using the main types of sedimentary rocks will result from the process?

If the granite is eroded somehow and then all of the fragements sit there for a while over time it will turn into sedementary rock.


A classmate states that igneous rock must always become sedementary rock next according to the rock cycle. Explain why this statement is not correct?

The statement is not correct because igneous rock can undergo various processes in the rock cycle that do not necessarily lead to sedimentary rock. Instead, igneous rocks can be subjected to weathering and erosion, becoming sediments that may later form sedimentary rock, or they can be transformed into metamorphic rock through heat and pressure. Additionally, igneous rocks can also be recycled back into magma through subduction processes, bypassing sedimentary rock entirely. The rock cycle is a complex system with multiple pathways, not a linear sequence.


Which types of sedementary rock consider as reservoir rock?

Sandstone and limestone are commonly considered as reservoir rocks for hydrocarbons. These rocks have high porosity and permeability, allowing them to hold and transmit oil and gas. Other sedimentary rocks like shale can also act as reservoirs under certain conditions.


What type of rock is Indian paint rock?

Indian paint rock is a sedementary rock. it is a sandstone found in Nevada and California. The interesting paterns and colors are created by trace amounts of iron and manganese being drawn into the rock by capilary action through minute cracks in the rock.
