Question

____________ sedimentary rocks form when rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion, and then compacted together by pressure.
a.
organic
c.
detrital
b.
chemical
d.
foliated

Answer 1

Detrital because it is made up of particles that are often transported through sedimentary processes into depositional systems such as riverbeds, lakes or the ocean, forming sedimentary successions.

Answer 2

Organic or biological sedimentary rocks are formed by living organisms, typically when the remains of living organisms build up and are compacted by sediment. Chemical sedimentary rocks, by contrast, form when conditions favor a chemical reaction or process that causes chemicals dissolved in water to precipitate, creating a layer of sediment.

Answer 3

And foliated is more of how the rock looks rather than how it is made.

Answer 4

thanks this is very helpful :D
