Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
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.
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.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What is the name of all three rocks sedimentary igneous and?
Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.
What has the author Sam Boggs written?

Name the three types of rocks?
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are the three main types of rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten rock, sedimentary rocks from the accumulation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks from the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure.
What is the name for rocks changing between sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks?
The rock cycle.
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.

Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.

How are sedimentary rocks mader?
There are different ways sedimentary rocks are formed. Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken pieces and particles of other rocks, [which is a reason why the name was given to these types of rocks (sediment)] and these bits get cemented together. These types of sedimentary rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks are another type that comprise of mineral crystals, like gypsum and halite. Lastly, organic sedimentary rocks are made of, well...... organic materials. They are made of the remains of once living organisms and contain the remains of living creatures such as clam shells, plankton skeletons, dinosaur bones, and plants.
