Can sedimentary rock change into other sedimentary rocks?
The sedimentary rock could, for instance, be found on a mountain and be crushed to dust by a huge ice glacier moving over it. The resulting dusty (or bigger) rock particles much later reach the lower end of the glacier and are washed into a lake or into the ocean where they sink to the bottom. Wait, oh, maybe half a million years, and the particles that sank to the bottom might turn into another sedimentary rock, altogether.
How do glaciers erode rock?
Glaciers erode rock through processes like plucking and abrasion. Plucking involves the freezing of water within cracks in the rock, causing pieces of rock to be pulled out as the glacier moves. Abrasion occurs when the glacier carries rocks and debris that scrape against the rock surface, wearing it down over time.
What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to bedrock?
The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
What can happen to a sedimentary rock?

Minerals found in glacier national park?
There are no valuable minerals in Glacier National Park. The rock formations are (with only a couple exceptions) all sedimentary in origin.
Why do some geologists consider glacial ice to be a metamorphic rock?
Probably because the subsurface ice in a glacier has recrystallized, much as the minerals in some sedimentary rock do when undergoing metamorphism.
Is organic rock a type of sedimentary rock?
