Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers as strata. The feature that tells how a sedimentary rock is layered is called the bedding.

How can you tell the difference between sedimentary rocks from an underwater landslide and sedimentary rocks formed from an aboveground landslide?
Sedimentary rocks from underwater landslides often exhibit features like graded bedding and fine layering due to the rapid deposition of sediments in a water environment, which can lead to sorting by size. In contrast, sedimentary rocks formed from aboveground landslides may display coarser materials and a more chaotic arrangement, with angular fragments and less sorting, reflecting the gravity-driven processes on land. Additionally, marine sedimentary rocks may contain fossils or marine features, while terrestrial rocks may include plant remains or soil layers.
Can sizes of crystals in sedimentary rock tell us how quickly the lava or magma cooled that formed the rock?
Yes it can.
What causes the different colors of layers in a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are changed into metamorphic by being buried deep enough that the heat and pressure alter their text, mineralogy, or other characteristics. Sedimentary rock can also become altered by proximity to a heat source, such as an igneous intrusion.
What is the relationship of people to the physical features of a geographical region and to each other?
it may tell about the occupation of people.
How does intrusive igneous rock turn into sedimentary rock?
Intrusive igneous rock can turn into sedimentary rock through a process called weathering and erosion. Over time, the intrusive igneous rock is broken down into smaller pieces through physical and chemical weathering. These pieces are then transported and deposited as sediment, which can be lithified into sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation.
How do you get layered hair?
Tell your hair stylist you would like your hair layered...either long or short layers.
How can you tell limestone is igneous?
Limestone is not an igneous rock, it is sedimentary.
How you can tell an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock from a metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma/lava), sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediment particles, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of pre-existing rock due to heat and pressure. Igneous rocks often have a crystalline texture, sedimentary rocks may contain layers or fossils, and metamorphic rocks often have foliated or banded textures.

How can you tell if sedimentary rock is undisturbed?
That would depend on the meaning of 'undisturbed'.
How can you tell that a rock is sedimentary by examining its texture?
work it out ur self
Can large areas be covered with layers of sedimentary rocks?
Yes, massive areas of Earth are covered by sedimentary rocks. A good geology map will tell you what rocks are in your area.
Why was Christine Keeler notorious?
Christine Keeler was notorious because she had an affair with John Profumo. Apparently she rocked the conservative government in 1963. I don't know what else to tell you besides that.
How do you identify sedimentry rocks?
The most obvious way to tell whether or not a rock is sedimentary is to look at its texture. Remember, sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments, fossils, shells, etc. are weathered and then lithified together. The lithification of those materials creates somewhat of an eclectic mix of particles. For instance, coquina looks as if someone cemented a bunch of shells together. Sedimentary rocks will have varying grain sizes, ranging from the larger gravel-sized grains to the microscopic microcrystalline grain sizes. These grains will vary in shape, from angular to well-rounded. Additionally, the grains will be arranged in varying manners, from being poorly sorted (a mix of different sizes) to well sorted (all generally the same size). When compared side by side with metamorphic or igneous rocks, the textural differences presented by sedimentary rocks become very clear.
How do you tell which is which?
First note if there are any features which might distinguish one from the other. If such features exist, compare and contrast said features and you should be able to tell which is which. However, if there are no discernible features which might distinguish one from the other, it may not be possible to tell which is which. (ex: McCain and Bush)
Is the moon sedimentary rock?
yes they are you have to look at a normole one can tell you
Can sizes of crystals in sedimentary rock tell us how quickly the lava or magma cooled that formed the rock?
Yes it can.
