How do fossils end up in sedimentary rocks?
fossils are small living organisms that existed millions of years ago. They mostly have a shell which is the fossil that you can sea. Sedimentary rock is formed when lots of small particles and pieces of rock and often dead organisms, (the fossils) drift down to the sea bed and over millions of years get compressed together to form the rock. The fossil that you see was once a living shelled organism which dies and was preserved as the sedimentary rock formed
What is a non-example of sedimentary rock?
== == A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments deposited by water on the bottom of rivers, lakes, and oceans. The sediments are pieces of earth that have eroded, or worn away and washed downstream into rivers, lakes, and oceans and then settled out. Therefore, a non-sedimentary rock is a rock that isn't sedimentary.
Are all rocks formed by volcanoes?
no not all rocks are formed by volcanoes because what about sedimentary rocks which are the rocks formed over a long period of time by little pieces of sand and rock etc. by wind and water
How does metamorphism change sandstone?
Sandstone can metamorphose into quartzite.
What rock is formed from tiny pieces of material such as sand?
Sandstone is a type of rock formed from tiny pieces of material such as sand. These grains are compacted and cemented together over time to create a solid rock structure. Sandstone is commonly found in sedimentary environments.
A rock that is formed from pieces of other rock or from the remains of living things is called a?
Sedimentary rock.
What is a Sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks often have distinctive layering or bedding.
How was asandstome formed?
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.
How are little pieces of rock - sedimentary - formed?

Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called?
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called a conglomerate. Conglomerates are made up of rounded or angular fragments of various sizes and types of rocks that have been cemented together.
Which type of rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks shells soils and dead plants and animals?
sedimentary
What kind of rocks are formed when bits and pieces of other rocks are compacted?
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
Which type of rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks shells soil or dead plants and animals?
Sedimentary rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks, shells, soil, or dead plants and animals. These fragments, called sediments, can be compacted and cemented together over time to create sedimentary rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
How was sandstomne formed?
Sandstone form when when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces. This is from the surface or the crust of a rock.
What are some definitions of sedimentary rocks?
A rock formed as pieces older rock and sediment get pressed or cemented together.
