What is the relationship between all rocks within the rock cycle? |
The three main rocks are sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. |
|
|
|
Sedimentary rock: |
Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Together, all these particles are called sediment. |
|
|
|
Igneous: |
Relates to or involved volcanic processes. |
|
|
|
Metamorphic: |
type of rock which has been changed by extreme heat and pressure. |

What is Chemical stability ? |
nswer A rock's chemical stability will determine the rate at which it weathers and breaks apart. The stability of rocks also affects how rocks and minerals form. |

What chemical sedimentary rock is known as rock salt? |
This is a common way for chemical sedimentary rocks to form and the rocks are commonly called evaporites. They are typically made up of the minerals halite (calcium chloride, or rock salt) and gypsum (calcium sulfate). |

Compaction and cementation are part of making which type of rocks? Heat and pressure? |
Common cementing minerals are calcite (CaCO3), silica (SiO2), iron oxides and clay minerals; Dissolved minerals fill in the small gaps between particles and then solidify, acting as cement. After years of compaction and cementation, the sediment turns into sedimentary rock. Metamorphism. ... While underground, these rocks are exposed to high heat and pressure, which changes them into metamorphic rock. |
