Question

Describe how sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks are formed.Give 2 exampled

Answer 1

Answer:

• The clastic route begins with the weathering and erosion of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks.
• Through these processes, larger rock is broken up into smaller particles which are transported by moving water,
• ice, gravity or wind, and deposited at the bottom of a lake, a river delta, an ocean, or similar location where further movement is restricted or slowed down.
• The rock particles can range in size from boulders to clay particles less than .002 mm in diameter.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place.
