What are rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of rock particles are compacted or cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
What sedimentary rock is formed form layers of clay compacted very tightly together?
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
What can organic sedimentary rock formed from layers of bones and shells form?
Limestone
These rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure.?
Sedimentary
When sedimentary rock is formed what is the process called when the grains join?
The process of grains joining together to form sedimentary rock is called compaction. As layers of sediment accumulate on top of each other, the weight from the overlying layers squeezes out water and air between the grains, causing them to compact and bind together.
The what of water and the top layer of what press the bottom layers tightly together to form what rocks?
The ____ of water and the top layer of ___ press together to form sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks form layers?
sedimentary
What does hardened layers of sediments form?
A sedimentary rock
What caused these sedimentary materials to form in layers?
erosion
What type of rocks form in layers and have fossils in them?
sedimentary
Where can strata can be found sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Strata can be found in sedimentary rocks, which form in layers over time as sediments accumulate and compact. Igneous rocks, which form from molten magma cooling and solidifying, do not typically have distinct layers or strata.
What kinds of layers does sedimentary rock generally form?
Bedrock
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
Broken pieces of what types of rock are deposited into layers and cemented together to form sedimentary rock?
Broken pieces of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks can be deposited into layers and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
What are rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of rock particles are compacted or cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Where do several sedimentary rock layers form?
Over Ancient Rock
What sedimentary rock is formed form layers of clay compacted very tightly together?
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
