What else can I help you with?
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Is a sedimentary rock a light color or a dark color?
Sedimentary rocks can vary widely in color, ranging from light to dark shades. Common light-colored sedimentary rocks include limestone and sandstone, which often appear in shades of beige, cream, or light gray. Conversely, darker sedimentary rocks like shale can be found in shades of dark gray, brown, or even black. The color typically depends on the minerals present and the environment of deposition.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.

What are the color of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rock varies toward grays and browns, but many other colors can appear also.

What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.
How are clastic sedimentary rocks different from organic sedimentary rocks?
they form
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
