thnks i have another one, wht are sediments

anonymous · Answer

sediments are the matter that settles to the bottom of water. but in geology, sediments are organic or mineral matter deposited by air, water, or ice.

anonymous · Answer

Actually, the answer your teacher is probably looking for are the three types of rock classification: Metamorphic, Sedimentary, and Igneous. Sediments are bits and pieces of broken down rock, caused by weathering. (weathering means exposure to nature, like wind or water constantly hitting a rock and sediment pieces break off)

last one Contrast chemical and biochemical sedimentary rocks.

anonymous · Answer

Bio chemical is when plants and animals mix into sediments and become rock over time- that is what fossils are. Chemical is when the rock is only made up of sediments, but I could be wrong.
