Iron ends up in sedimentary rock primarily through the weathering and erosion of igneous and metamorphic rocks that contain iron minerals. As these rocks break down, iron can be transported by water, wind, or ice into sedimentary environments, where it may precipitate or be incorporated into sediments. Over time, these sediments accumulate, and through processes like compaction and cementation, they form sedimentary rock that may contain iron in various forms, such as iron oxides or iron-bearing minerals.
What else can I help you with?
Is limonite an igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
Limonite is a recognized mineral by the IMA, although its chemical structure will vary. As a mineral, it is not classified as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic in the manner of rock identification
How do a metamorphic rock change into sedimentary rock?
You squash it and heat it up.
Which monument is made up of sedimentary rock?
The Egyptian pyramids are constructed from limestone.
What factors can affect the texture of the sedimentary rock?
The size of the grains that make up the rock
Can coarse sedimentary rock be made up of pebbles or boulders?
Yes, coarse sedimentary rock can be made up of pebbles or boulders. Coarse sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of larger grains, such as pebbles and boulders, that are transported by water, ice, or wind. These larger grains are typically found in rocks like conglomerate or breccia.
How does calcium end up in a sedimentary rock?
calcium undergoes metamorphosis to become marble with heat and pressure.
Is limonite an igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
Limonite is a recognized mineral by the IMA, although its chemical structure will vary. As a mineral, it is not classified as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic in the manner of rock identification
What type of rock is limonite?
Limonite is a mineral, a component of 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.
What are clasts?
Clasts are individual pieces of rock or mineral fragments that make up a sedimentary rock. They can vary in size and shape, ranging from tiny grains to large boulders, and are important in determining the characteristics and composition of the sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is made up of slowly buried sediments that were later cemented together by dissolved minerials?
sedimentary rock
What does weathering have to do with how a sedimentary rock is formed?
If you don't have weather then the igneous rock won't break up into sedmints which won't turn into a sedimentary rock.
Can granite turn into any other rock?
Granite is Granite, However grind it down and mix it with other materials and rock grindings, compress it for a while and you end up with sedimentary rock.
How do you change sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
You squash it and heat it up.
How do a metamorphic rock change into sedimentary rock?
You squash it and heat it up.
Is conglomerate an igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What is a sedimentary conglomerate rock?
rock made up of big pieces cemented together (sedimentary-pieces, conglomerate-big pieces)
