What are three ways sedimentary rocks can form?
Biologically, Chemically and Mechanically.
What 3 things makes new rocks out of old rocks?
Heat: Rocks can be metamorphosed into new rocks under high temperatures, causing their minerals to recrystallize and reform. Pressure: High pressures can also change existing rocks into new rocks through processes like compaction and cementation. Fluids: The introduction of new fluids, like water carrying dissolved minerals, can alter the mineral composition of rocks and lead to the formation of new rocks through processes like hydrothermal metamorphism.
What are the 3 different rock types?
The three main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sedimentary rocks result from the accumulation of sediment particles or organic materials. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks through heat, pressure, or chemical processes.
What are the types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic and nonclastic
How are rocks physically classified?
they are classified into 3 major kinds of rocksthey are the ;IGNEOUS ROCKS,SEDIMENTARY ROCKS,AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS

What are ways sedimentary rocks can form?
1. Organically. 2. Mechanically. and 3. Chemically.
What are the 3 processes by which sedimentary rocks are formed?
mechanical , chemical and organic
What are the processes involved in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle involves three main processes: 1) Formation of rocks through cooling and solidification of magma or lava, 2) Transformation of rocks through heat and pressure, and 3) Breakdown of rocks through weathering and erosion, leading to the formation of new rocks. These processes continuously interact and recycle rocks on Earth's surface.

Describe at least three processes that mechanically weather rock?
(1) frost wedging--the expansion of freezing water pries rock apart; (2) pressure release--the reduction of pressure on a brittle rock mass, which can cause it to crack as it expands; (3) plant growth--as roots grow in cracks, the rock mass breaks up.

Which statement is best supported by the information provided in the reference diagram of the Rock Cycle in Earth's Crust?
Which statement is best supported by the information provided in the reference diagram of the Rock CycleinEarth's Crust?1. Igneous rocks are formed from eroded sediments 3. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the completeof metamorphic rocks. melting of any other rock.2. Sedimentary rocks are composed of intergrown 4. Rocks may be formed from other rocks by variouscrystals. processes.Answer: 4
What are the types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic and nonclastic
How are rocks constantly bring formed and destroyed?
Metamorphic rock is very tough, but it can be slowly destroyed by various erosive processes; the weather, the lichen, etc. It can be destroyed faster by miners. Metamorphic rock is recycled in nature by weathering and erosion, or by melting. Both processes can lead to the formation of new rock types.
How do you get rock salt from rocks?
1. Grinding of the rock salt. 2. Dissolving of the rock salt in water. 3. Filtering of the solution. 4. Repeated processes of crystallization/recrystallization.
Only a small number of earth's minerals are commonly found in rocks what does this fact indicate?
This fact indicates that the majority of Earth's minerals are not commonly found in rocks, and may exist in other forms such as in solution or within the Earth's mantle. It also suggests that the minerals found in rocks are more stable and resistant to weathering and erosion processes.
