Which rocks result from compacting and cementing particles together?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the compaction and cementation of particles such as sand, silt, and clay. These particles are deposited in layers over time, and the pressure from the weight of the overlying material squeezes them together and binds them with minerals forming sedimentary rocks.
What rock would have the fastest rate of weathering in a warm wet climate?
Most rocks do not "grow". Some rocks can grow and caves are one of the few places you can see it happen. Of course, rocks do not grow like you do and they get bigger over thousands of years. You could watch all day and not see any growth. Hot weather and cold weather do not affect the growth patterns of these rocks, but it could damage or cause rocks like the sedimentary rock, to wear down over time.
How are Sedimentary rocks and Igneous rocks different?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten lava or magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and compaction of sediment grains or by their chemical precipitation in water. For more information please see the related link.
When did sedimentary rocks first begin forming?
at the beginning of time (see rock cycle) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_cycle
When rocks change form in the rock cycle we see an example of the conversion of?
When rocks change form in the rock cycle, we see an example of the conversion of one type of rock into another through processes like melting, cooling, erosion, and sedimentation. For instance, igneous rocks can break down into sediments that eventually form sedimentary rocks, while heat and pressure can transform sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks. This dynamic process illustrates the interconnectedness of Earth's materials and the continuous nature of geological changes.
Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
What types of stones are most likely to contain fossils?
There are three basic types of rock; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed by volcanic action and don't contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks are formed, usually under water, by eroded material accumulating. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary rocks are changed by heating and/or pressure. From this, you can see that sedimentary rocks are the most likely to contain fossils, although metamorphic rocks also can contain fossils. Any sedimentary rock can contain fossils, but some make fossil hunting easier. Shales and mudstones are particularly good; chalk is pretty much entirely made of fossils - it's formed of skeletons of small organisms, but its difficult to see the individual fossils.
What is an intrusive rock is?
Sedimentary rocks are not intrusive. Igneous rocks are though. See the link below.
How would you know the difference between igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks form from cooling and solidification of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rock through heat and pressure. By examining the texture, mineral composition, and sedimentary structures present in a rock sample, geologists can determine whether it is igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
What clues or characteristics do you look for i n order to identify sedimentary rocks?
== == Sedimentary rocks may exhibit strata, or layering. Sandstones will have visible sand grains. Limestones will fizz when placed in vinegar. Fossils usually only appear in sedimentary rocks. A rock made of an assortment of other rocks is usually sedimentary.
Talk about the patterns you can find in sedimentary rocks. Where do you see these patterns?
Sedimentary rock is formed when many rocks are broken into small pieces by erosion, after a long time the small rocks fuse together and become a rock with many different layers.

What kind of rock would you find at the Grand Canyon?
The Grand Canyon mostly displays sedimentary rocks, such as sand stone. Though if you go deep enough, you can also see some pre-cambrian metamorphic rocks.
