When a rock is transported, it can undergo weathering and erosion due to the physical forces such as wind, water, or ice. This can lead to the rock becoming smaller in size, changing shape, and eventually forming sediment. The sediment can then be deposited in a new location, contributing to the formation of sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
What else can I help you with?
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
What happens to the surface at a strike slip fault?
The rock gets farther a part from the fault
Can a sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?
it gets weathered into sediment, then it gets washed into the ocean, sediment layers up over millions of years, and it gets squashed into sedimentery rock, then metamorphic and so on.
What process must a sedimentary rock go through to become one?
A sedimentary rock gets buried within the crust due to the movement of the plate tectonics; gets baked and becomes a metamorphic rock OR gets melted and solidifies to become an igneous rock. When the rocks (either metamorphic or igneous or both) are exposed, weathering and erosion occurs and the rock sediments are transported where they deposit at the bottom of a water body and get compacted (by the weight of the layers of sediments above) and cemented (by the minerals dissolved in the water) to become a sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock gets transformed into metamorphic rock under the heat and pressure of mountain-building processes. Examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and schist from shale.
What happens when rock melts?
it gets all runny
What happens to matter in the rock cycle?
i think it gets bigger
What happens when a red rock falls in a green pond?
it gets wet
What happens to rocks along to reverse fault?
The rock gets farther a part from the fault
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
What happens when a sedimentary rock gets wet?
When a sedimentary rock gets wet, it can absorb the water and become softer. This may lead to weathering and erosion of the rock over time. Additionally, certain minerals within the rock can dissolve in the water, altering the rock's composition.
How is igneous rock transported?
Igneous rock is transported by wind or moving water until they are deposited in other regions where they settle in layers.
What happens when you throw a green rock in the red sea?
it goes brown
What happens if you overcook peanut brittle?
It gets dark, hard as rock, tastes of burnt sugar.
What happens when you throw a blue rock in a red stream?
A wet rock.
What happens to the rock that is eroded from a headland?
The rock that is eroded from a headland is usually transported by erosion processes like waves and currents. It can be broken down into smaller particles and eventually deposited on nearby beaches or carried out to sea. Over time, this process helps shape the coastline and contribute to the formation of new landforms.
What happens to the rock structure during each of the type of change?
During weathering, the rock structure breaks down into smaller pieces due to physical and chemical processes. During erosion, these pieces are transported away from their original location by water, wind, or ice. During deposition, the transported rock particles settle in a new location and may eventually become sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation.
