What else can I help you with?
What type of rock is a sandstone and what is it made up of?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock and it is made of smaller pieces of rock and is pressed together
What does limestone sandstone and marble have in common?
Limestone and sand stone are both sedimentary rocks, and marble is made out of limestone when heated . :) Hope that helped.
When sediments are pressed together what kind of rock is formed?
When sediments are pressed together, sedimentary rock is formed. The pressure from overlying sediments compacts the loose particles, causing them to lithify into solid rock. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
What type of rock is formed when grains of sand and other sediments that have been washed down to sea are pressed together and cemented together?
The type of rock formed from grains of sand and other sediments that have been washed down to the sea and then pressed and cemented together is called sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that typically consists of sand-sized particles and can contain various minerals, including quartz and feldspar. Over time, the accumulation and compaction of these sediments, combined with the mineral cementation process, create the hard, durable rock known as sandstone.
Rock that is formed by sand and mineral particles pressed together?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from compacted layers of sand grains and cemented by mineral particles. It typically has a granular texture and can vary in color depending on the composition of the grains and cementing material. Sandstone is commonly used in construction and landscaping due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.

What sand stone is heated and pressed?
Metamorphic
What happens if sandstone is heated?
When sandstone is heated, the minerals within it may undergo chemical changes and can potentially recrystallize, altering its physical properties. This can result in the release of water and organic matter within the sandstone, leading to changes in its color, texture, and strength. In extreme cases, excessive heating can cause the sandstone to fracture or break apart.
What can sandstone and limestone be heated by?
Any heat source, whether man-made or natural.
How are metamorpic rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are heated and pressed together.
What do you call sediment that are pressed into layers?
They are sedimentary rock. Four examples being chalk, sandstone, limestone and slate.
Does limestone become sandstone when heated?
No. Limestone changes to Marble when it undergoes intense heat and pressure.
What is before metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary Rock which becomes heated and pressed and Igneous Rock which is also heated and compressed.
What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
When limestone is heated does I become sandstone?
Once burnt limestone turns into calcium oxide which is known as quicklime.
