What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
What is the Idea that rocks on either side of the fault spring back to a position of a little or no strange at the moment of an earthquake causing vibration in the earths crust?
Rocks on the side of a spring will move if there is a earthquake. When a earthquake happens it shakes everything.
What type of rocks are created as layer of sediment?
Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.
Energy is stored in rocks adjacent to the site of a future earthquake as what?
Energy is stored in rocks adjacent to the site of a future earthquake as elastic potential energy due to the stress and strain built up in the rocks. This stored energy is released suddenly when the rocks undergo sudden movement along a fault line, resulting in an earthquake.
What is the group of rocks that are formed from sediments?
Sedimentary rocks are a group of rocks that form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, that are deposited and compacted over time. These rocks often contain fossils and are classified based on their composition and texture.
What is compacting rocks?
When rock compacts
What type of rocks are formed when sediments are compacted over time?
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
What type of rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone?
Sedimentary rocks are most likely to form in earthquake zones because they are easily broken, shifted, and compacted by the tectonic forces associated with earthquakes. These rocks can be fractured and deformed as a result of the intense pressure and movement during seismic events.
Are igneous rocks made when layers of weathered rocks or soil is compacted?
No that is a metamorphic rock
What are sedimentary rocks ad how are they formed?
Rocks made from sediments being compacted & cemented together.
What is compacted?
where rocks are packed together
What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are compressed, compacted, and cemented together. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
What part of the desert is made from Sedimentary rocks?
Sandstone and compacted dunes.
What kind of rocks are formed when bits and pieces of other rocks are compacted?
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
When rocks undergo weathering they become what type of rock?
When rocks undergo weathering, they can form sedimentary rocks. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller sediments, which then get compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
What sedimentary rocks form when rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
Sedimentary rocks that form through the process of weathering, erosion, and compaction are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. These rocks are made up of fragments of pre-existing rocks that have been transported and deposited.
