Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts. Weathering and erosion do not occur on the moon (except to a limited extent due to the impact of meteorites but this material is not compacted so is a dust rather than a rock) so sedimentary rocks can't form.
What else can I help you with?
Why are Sedimentary rocks are not found on the Moon?
There could be sedimentary rocks on the Moon, the processes forming them would be different from those on the earth but it is possible that there are processes moving and layering Moon dust which could be regarded as a sediment. However, in general there is no erosion or deposition happening on the Moon as it does on Earth and therefore no rocks formed as a result of these processes.
If you take rocks from the earth or moon?
If you take rocks from the Earth, it is considered legal as long as you are not violating any environmental laws or collecting from protected areas. However, if you take rocks from the Moon, it would not be legal without permission from the appropriate authorities as the Moon is governed by international treaties and agreements.
Does the Earth have Moon rocks?
Rocks were brought back to the Earth from the various Moon landings the Americans undertook. No other rocks from the Moon are on Earth. The Moon was formed from the Earth - so, if anything, there are Earth rocks on the Moon.
Are there rocks on the moon?
Yes. There are rocks on the moon. Some were retrieved by the Apollo missions.
How are moon rocks formed?
the rocks on the moon are rich in iron and magnesium. and there are also lunar rocks on the moon yes they have a lot of magnetism and did you know their are volcano's in the moon and the don't blast lava they blast minerals. And dose magnetic rocks if you watched h2o you would know that the rocks in the volcano were from the moon that's why they needed the moon to make the girls a mermaid. So the history of that volcano (maico) is connected with the moon. PS. i wanna be a detective I'm good at this.
Would sedimentary rocks be found on the moon?
No sedimentary rocks are found yet. The reason is moon is lack of atmosphere.
Can a moon rock become sedimentary rocks?
no because sedimentary rocks are made at the bottom of oceans

Why aren't there any sedimentary rocks on the moon?
because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
Why aren't sedimentary rocks found on the moon?
Sedimentary rocks are typically formed on Earth through processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition by water or wind. The moon lacks liquid water, wind, and significant geological activity, which are essential for the formation of sedimentary rocks. As a result, sedimentary rocks are not found on the moon.
Where would you go to find moon rocks?
You can find moon rocks at museums like the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum or through authorized sources that sell meteorites and space rocks. It is illegal to own, buy, or sell moon rocks obtained unlawfully.
What rock did they find on the moon?
Moon Rocks.
What things can you find on the moon?
moon rocks
What type of surface did asronauts find on the moon?
moon rocks
Where can you find sedimentary rock outside the earth?
Surface water is required for sedimentary rock to form. There is no surface water on any planet in our solar system at the present time, except of course earth. It appears there WAS water on Mars, perhaps as recently as a billion years ago, where sedimentary rocks may have formed. Refer to links below.
What did the NASA Apollo missions find on the Moon?
As the moon is a baren place, they found moon rocks.
What elements are found in moon rocks?
Moon rocks contain elements such as oxygen, silicon, aluminum, calcium, iron, and magnesium. They also contain trace elements like titanium, uranium, thorium, and potassium. Analysis of moon rocks has provided valuable insight into the composition and history of the moon.
