Question

Which statements describe sedimentary rock? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:It comes from older rocks,It forms from sediments,it is one of the main 3 rocks, con form from materials solidified from solution.

Explanation:

Most of the rocks exposed at the surface of Earth are sedimentary--formed from particles of older rocks that have been broken apart by water or wind. The gravel, sand, and mud settle to the bottom in rivers, lakes, and oceans.These rocks often start as sediments carried in rivers and deposited in lakes and oceans. When buried, the sediments lose water and become cemented to form rock.Sedimentary rocks are one of three main types of rocks, along with igneous and metamorphic. Dissolved minerals in the ground water precipitate (crystallize) from water in the pore spaces forming mineral crusts on the sedimentary grains, gradually cementing the sediments, thus forming a rock.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Sedimentary rocks are the lithified equivalents of sediments. They typically are produced by cementing, compacting, and otherwise solidifying preexisting unconsolidated sediments. Some varieties of sedimentary rock, however, are precipitated directly into their solid sedimentary form and exhibit no intervening existence as sediment.

Explanation: It comes from older rocks.

It forms from sediments.

It is one of the three main types of rocks.

It comes from materials that never existed before.

It can form from materials solidified from solutions,
