Sedimentary rocks are typically formed from the accumulation of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic materials. They often have a layered appearance, reflecting the gradual deposition of materials over time. Common characteristics include a relatively soft texture, the presence of fossils, and features like ripple marks or mud cracks that indicate past environmental conditions. Additionally, sedimentary rocks are usually formed in water environments, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.
The middle layer of sedimentary rocks is known as the interbedded layer or interbeds. These layers form between the top and bottom layers of sedimentary rock and are composed of varying types of sediment. The interbedded layers provide important information about the environmental conditions during the rock formation process.
how are the origins of rock salt and some limestone similar
Underground molten rock, called magma, does melt some of the surrounding rock.
No. A similar rock could be formed, but some characteristics would be altered.
Probably orthoquartzite, although some consider it a metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary
It, like any rock, would turn into a Metamorphic rock.
Deposition, Compaction, Cementation and Lithification
What type of rock igneous sedmentary or metamorphic would u find in a divergent place
Identify three characterristics of m8 paper?
a parrot has many physical characterristics some are that they have many bright colors
well .; sedimentary rocks are the type of rock that is formed by SEDIMENTATION of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water !.
Three examples of sedimentary rock are: slate (which is compressed silt or mud); sandstone (which is compressed sand grains); limestone (which is the skeleton remains of minute shelled sea creatures).
sedimentary rocks are those which have been eroded from the earth and have had layers of mud and other rock put ontop of them, these then could create fossils. Some sedimentary rocks are such as limestone, mudstone, slate and marble.
None.
