What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
What happens to the chromatin in the early cell division?
the cell division is compacted into visible stuctures called chromosmes
What happens to the chromatin in the early stages of cell division?
the cell division is compacted into visible stuctures called chromosmes
What happens to a metamorphic rock when its weathered?
When a metamorphic rock is weathered, it undergoes physical and chemical breakdown due to exposure to the elements. This can lead to the rock breaking apart into smaller pieces or being chemically altered, potentially forming new minerals. Over time, the weathering process can transform the metamorphic rock into sediment that may eventually become part of a sedimentary rock.
What happens to sediment when waves slow down?
When waves slow down, their energy decreases and they may not be able to keep transporting sediment. The sediment will then settle out of the water and accumulate on the seafloor or coastline, a process known as deposition.
Describe what happens to sediment as it is changed to sedimentary rock?
Sediment is first compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock. Over time, pressure and temperature help the sediment grains fuse together to create a solid rock structure. This process can take thousands to millions of years.
What happens to sediment after weathering?
After weathering, sediment is transported by wind, water, or ice to a new location where it can accumulate and create sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. Sediment may also be eroded further or eventually buried, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary layers.
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
What happens to a rock when its weathered?
it turns to sediment
What happens to sediment when it hits a boulder?
something
What happens to rock after it breaks down?
it turns into sediment
What happens when sedimentery rock is lithified?
the sediment is loosened
What happens to potential energy as a squashed ball regains it shape?
Its potential energy increases as it regains its shape.
What happens to any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentary rock?
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
What are rocks formed from small fragments called?
Clastic sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed when small sediment particles are compacted and cemented together. This happens when the sediments are glued together by tiny crystals or chemicals from fluids that have precipitated in the pores between the sediments.
What happens to the chromatin in the early cell division?
the cell division is compacted into visible stuctures called chromosmes
What happens to metamorphic rock when it goes through erosion?
it turns into sediment
