Which set of characteristics best describes sedimentary rock?
Answers
First of all students must be knows about the information about rocks ,the rocks are very important building blocks of earth.
Sedimentary Rocks:
rivers ,oceans, and winds , rain runoff all have the ability to carry the particles washed off of eroding rocks , the process is called detritus . and detritus is made of the fragments of rocks and minerals , so if the energy of transportation is very low to transport all these material then this process leads to sedimentation process .
The sedimentation process leads on following steps:
-Weathering: In this step the solid rocks transform to smaller particles.
-Erosion: This type of sediment will occurs by mass movements events e.g. lands sliding or rocks falls down.
-Transportation: This type of sediments will occurs when falling down rocks can be picked up by wind or by ruining of water or by streaming.
-Deposition: This type of sedimentation will occurs when speed of transformation of sediments becomes very low.
-Lithification: In this process the sediments turns to rock.
