What kinds of sediments mix with seawater to form turbidity currents What does this mix do to the water?
sand, silt, clay, and other particles and sediments mix with water.this mix forms very dense water.
Are sedimentary rocks formed when sediments are compacted by extreme pressure?
Clastic and organic sedimentary rocks like conglomerate, coal, some limestones, and shale, are formed under pressure from overlying sediments.
When do sediments form during the rock cycle?
Sediments form during the erosion and weathering processes that break down rocks into smaller particles. These sediments may then undergo deposition and compaction to form sedimentary rocks in the rock cycle.
What do all limestones have in common?
Limestones are sedimentary rocks composed mostly of the mineral calcite. They typically form in shallow marine environments from the accumulation of calcareous remains of marine organisms like shells and coral. Limestones are soluble in acidic solutions and effervesce when in contact with acids like vinegar.
What are limestones?
shells
Folded limestones that occur high in the Himalayas were originally deposited as sediments where?
marine basin between India and Eurasia
What process do all three kinds of rocks undergo to form sediments?
They form by sediments of rocks getting squeezed together at the bottom of a lake. Some of those rocks are Conglomerate, Limestone, and Sandstone.

What kinds of rocks formed from sediments?
Sedimentary rock.

What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
Is sand a form of sediments?
Yes, basically sand is a form of sediment.
What are limestones?
shells
