Question

Can a good geologist ever find a material that is somewhere between sedimentary rock and sediment, loose stuff somewhat stuck together but not really hard?
a.no, because sediment and sedimentary rock were formed when the earthformed, and intermediates cannot be formed.
b.yes, because sediment is changed to sedimentary rock by people with glue guns, and intermediates exist.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Yes, because sediment is changed to sedimentary rock by people with glue guns, and intermediates exist.

Explanation:

There are three type of rock system in the world such as Igneous rocks, Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rock are primary rocks which is formed when the earth formed, it is made up lava or molten material oozing out from volcanoes. Sedimentary rock is formed due to weathering and erosion process, running water and winds are eroded by the igneous rocks and settle their sediments, over a period of time these sediments changed in to Sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rock is formed from igneous and sedimentary rocks when these rocks undergoes huge amount of pressure.

Answer 2

From my 40 years plus as a geologist, I would say that it is very difficult to find a semi-sedimentary rock and either I have observed sediments, often quite compact but not half way towards being a sedimentary rock, still only a sediment.
