Clastic sedimentary rocks.


What did the broken bits of slate come from?

The broken bits of slate typically come from the process of quarrying, where large slabs of slate are extracted from the earth. These slabs can be fractured during extraction or transportation, resulting in smaller pieces. Additionally, slate can break down over time due to weathering or physical impact, producing smaller fragments. Often, these bits are used in construction, landscaping, or as decorative elements.


What happens after sedimentary rocks form from broken bits of other rock deposited and then?

After sedimentary rocks form from broken bits of other rock, they undergo further processes such as compaction and cementation. Over time, layers of sediment accumulate, and the weight of overlying materials compresses the lower layers, forcing water out and allowing minerals to act as a cement to bind the particles together. This process solidifies the sediments into rock. Eventually, these sedimentary rocks can be uplifted and exposed to weathering, leading to the formation of new sediments and continuing the rock cycle.


What processs occurs when bits of rock are carried away by flowing water?

The process is called erosion. When bits of rock are carried away by flowing water, they can be broken down into smaller pieces and transported downstream. Erosion can shape landscapes by wearing down rock and soil over time.
