What are sedimentary rock crystals?
In general, sedimentary rock crystals would be crystals that are found in sedimentary rocks. Normally they are calcite or quartz as they are the minerals most likely to cement sediments to form sedimentary rocks. There is a group of sedimentary rocks called evaporites that include crystals of salt, gypsum, sylvite, glauberite, thenardite, mirabilite and a few others. However, there is a tremendous variety of other minerals that can produce crystals in sedimentary rocks. Geodes from Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky can have crystals of barite, millerite, sphalerite, galena, fluorite, and aragonite. In other areas of the planet crystals of azurite and malachite can be found in sedimentary rocks. There are many, many other types of crystals that have been found in sedimentary rocks.
Describe how clastic sedimentary rock differs from chemical and organic sedimentary rock?
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
Are sedimentary rocks that form when minerals come out of a solution classified as porphyritic?
No. I believe they are called chemical precipitate sedimentary rocks. Yes, I'm sure they're called that. Absolutely! Porphyritic is a term usually applied to igneous rocks, having to do with mineral formation and rock texture.
Does conglomerate have any crystals?
Well, Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock and sedimentary rocks are not crystalline in nature, but they do consist of mineral crystals such as Quartz.
Sedimentary rocks composed of intergrown precipitated crystals are called?
Sedimentary rocks composed of intergrown precipitated crystals are called chemical sedimentary rocks. Examples include limestone, rock salt, and gypsum. These rocks form when minerals in water solutions come out of the water and crystallize, creating a solid rock.
What type of sedimentary rocks for when crystals grow out of solution?
This thing is a sh
Do sedimentary rocks have tiny crystals?
yes

What are crystals igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Crystals can form in all three types of rocks. Igneous rocks, like granite, form from the cooling and solidification of magma. Sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, can contain crystals that formed from precipitation of minerals in water. Metamorphic rocks, like marble, can have crystals that grew under extreme heat and pressure.

Why do sedimentary and metamorphic rocks have bands of colors?
they have more crystals
What kind of rocks forms by recrystallization?
sedimentary rocks
Do sedimentary rock form from crystals solidifying from magma?
No. Those are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks from from the acummulation and lithification of weathered material.
Write the terms in the correct order in the flowchart to show how a clastic sedimentary rock forms?
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
What type of sedimentary rocks forms when particles of minerals and rocks are cemented together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
