Sedimentary structures include all kinds of features formed at the time of deposition sediments and sedimentary rocks are characterized by bedding which occurs when layers of sediment with different particle sizes are deposited on top of each other these beds range from millimeters to centimeters thick and can even go to meters or multiple meters thick

Clastic sedimentary rocks such as breccia conglomerate sandstone siltstone and shale are formed from mechanical weathering debris chemical sedimentary rocks such as rock salt iron ore chert flint some dolomites and some limestones form when dissolved materials precipitate from solution organic sedimentary rocks such as coal some dolomites and some limestones form from the accumulation

Sedimentary rocks are formed from broken down bits of other rocks or even from the remains of plants or animals the little pieces collect in lowlying areas by lakes oceans and deserts they are then compressed back into rock by the weight of the materials around them and on top of them

Sedimentary rock rock formed at or near the earths surface by the accumulation and lithification of sediment or by the precipitation from solution at normal surface temperatures sedimentary rocks are the most common rocks exposed on the earths surface but are only a

Sedimentary breccias are a type of clastic sedimentary rock which are composed of angular to subangular randomly oriented clasts of other sedimentary rocks they may form either in submarine debris flows avalanches mud flow or mass flow in an aqueous medium

Common clastic sedimentary rocks are listed on the table below they are listed by grain size in decending order grain size is one factor in classifying sedimentary rocks clicking on the name of the rock will bring up a larger picture and a description of the rock type in a new window

Sedimentary rocks rivers oceans winds and rain runoff all have the ability to carry the particles washed off of eroding rocks such material called detritus consists of fragments of rocks and minerals

Weathering and sedimentary rocks water expands by about 9 on freezing water in cracks freezes expands and cracks rocks produces angular fragments but moist soils can also expand when they freeze frost heave due to growth of ice lenses as liquid water migrates from unfrozen areas if enough water accumulates and freezes soil is heaved

Sedimentary rock sedimentary rock grain size particle size is an important textural parameter of clastic rocks because it supplies information on the conditions of transportation sorting and deposition of the sediment and provides some clues to the history of events that occurred at the depositional site prior to final induration

53 sedimentary rocks sedimentary rock is classified into two main categories clastic and chemical clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks are made from pieces of bedrock sediment derived primarily by mechanical weathering clastic rocks may also include chemically weathered sediment clastic rocks are classified by grain shape grain size and sorting

61 clastic sedimentary rocks a clast is a fragment of rock or mineral ranging in size from less than a micron 1 too small to see to as big as an apartment block various types of clasts are shown in figure 512 and in exercise 53 the smaller ones tend to be composed of a single mineral crystal and the larger ones are typically composed of pieces of rock

Clastic sedimentary rocks in which a significant proportion of the clasts are larger than 2 mm are known as conglomerate if the clasts are well rounded and breccia if they are angular conglomerates form in highenergy environments where the particles can become rounded such as fastflowing rivers

Dec 28 2015 sedimentary rocks sedimentary or detrital rocks formed as a result of denudation weathering and erosion these deposits through compaction turn into rocks this process is called lithification cover 75 per cent of the earths crust but volumetrically occupy only 5 per cent they are layered or stratified of varying thickness

Sedimentary rocks are formed by sediment that is deposited over time usually as layers at the bottom of lakes and oceans this sediment can include minerals small pieces of plants and other organic matter the sediment is compressed over a long period of time before consolidating into solid layers of rock

Rocks like these contain mostly black white andor gray minerals sedimentary rocks such as limestone or shale are hardened sediment with sandy or claylike layers strata they are usually brown to gray in color and may have fossils and water or wind marks

Clastic sedimentary rocks are classified according to the grain size of the sediment and the kinds of rock fragments that make up the sediment table grain size is largely a function of the distance the particle was transported in general the greater the distance traveled the smaller and more rounded the sediment particles will be

The types of rocks that contain oil and natural gas are all sedimentary rocks rocks formed when grains and mineral particles deposited by running water fuse together because these rocks are cemented together from such small components they are porous full of spaces in which energyrich carbon compounds can settle

The rocks through which the river is currently downcutting are hard crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks which are much stronger than the sedimentary rocks resting above them more importantly the rivers gradient has decreased such that it has less power to battle with the hard rocks

Aug 30 2018 sedimentary rock sedimentary rocks are formed from overburden pressure as particles of sediment are deposited out of air ice or water flows carrying the particles in suspension as sediment deposition builds up the overburden or lithostatic pressure squeezes the sediment into layered solids in a process known as lithification
