Define the term Aqueous rocks.
Answers
Those rocks are deposited from water and lie in strata as opposed to volcanic rocks which are of ignious rocks called sedimentary rocks.
Aqueous rocks are formed from water and deposit in the strata.
These are also known as sedimentary rocks.
These types of rocks are created due to the deposition and thereby formation of organic particles or minerals in water bodies at the Earth's surface or on the ocean floor.
Sedimentation is a type of process that settles particles at the bottom of a water body.
Those particles that are involved in making a sedimentary rock are called the sediments.
They may be made of minerals or geological detritus or any form of organic matter.
Before they are deposited, minerals may be formed due to erosion from a source area or weathering and then they must have been transported to a place of deposition by wind, glacier movement, water or ice.
