What rock is made up of the smallest sediminate?
The rock made up of the smallest sediment is called shale. Shale is composed primarily of clay-sized particles, which are smaller than 0.002 millimeters in diameter. It forms from the compaction and cementation of fine-grained sediments, often in quiet water environments like lakes and deep marine settings. Shale can also contain organic materials and is known for being a common source rock for oil and natural gas.
Which rocks are made of the smallest sediments?
Clay rocks are made of the smallest sediment particles. These fine-grained particles are typically less than 0.002 mm in size and form rocks such as shale or mudstone.
Rock that is made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments?
Pebble conglomerate is rock that is made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments.
How did sedentaryrock get its name?
I think you mean a sedimentary rock, which gets its name from the sediments of which it is made up from.
Chalk formed from sediments made of skeletons of microscopic living things in the ocean must be a?
Chalk formed from sediments made of skeletions of microscopic living things in the ocean must be a(n) organic rock.
Which rock is made of the smallest sediments?
Claystone. Shale also contains clay sized particles mixed with silts.
What rocks is made of the smallest sediments?
sandstone
Is sandstone made up of the smallest sediments?
no
What is a small rock called?
The smallest type of rock is a pebble. A pebble can be made out of most rocks and is the size of a marble.
What is made when sediments fill in a cavity made when an object decayed and the sediments harden into rock?
Cast.
What is earths sedimentary rock made of?
Sediments
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
Is made of sediments an igneous rock characteristics?
No, rocks made of sediments are called sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock comes from volcanic activity -- lava and the like.
What is a sedimentary rock made from large sediments like rock and pebbles?
conglomerate
What kind of rock is made when rock minerals and remains of living things are made when these sediments are cemented together?
sedimentary rock
Which inorganic sedimentary rock has the smallest size sediments?
the smallest particles of sediment are found in clay.
What is the rock that is made from erosion and deposition of sediments?
The rock that is made from the erosion and deposition of sediments is called sedimentary rock. Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks form from the compression and cementation of layers of sediment over time.
