Sedimentary rock, rock formed at or near Earth's surface by the accumulation and lithifiion of sediment (detrital rock) or by the precipitation from solution at normal surface temperatures (chemical rock). Sedimentary rocks are the most common rocks exposed on Earth's surface but are only a minor constituent of the entire crust, which is dominated by igneous and metamorphic rocks.
الحصول على السعر· Sedimentary rocks, such as limestone and sandstone, are those formed gradually over thousands of years by the settlement of particles of calcium carbonate or sand to the bottom of bodies of water where the successive layers of deposit have been compacted as beds of rock by the weight of water of the irregular and varied deposit of the sediment, these rocks were formed in .
الحصول على السعرCHEMICAL SEDIMENTARY ROCKS formed when dissolved substances precipitate from water to form sediments and eventually rock; include salts such as ROCK SALT, GYPSUM, and LIMESTONE, and biochemically mediated rocks such as peat, and reef rock (an organic limestone). TYPES OF DETRITAL SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. CONGLOMERATE forms from cemented GRAVEL (a mixture of cobbles, .
الحصول على السعرThe biggest division in types of sedimentary rocks types is based on the primary type of weathering that leads to the material building the sedimentary rock. If the rock is largely made from broken pieces (called clasts) of rock that have been mechanically weathered the rocks are referred to as Detrital or Clastic Sedimentary Rocks .

الحصول على السعرThe rock can also be cut and polished to produce ornamental features, such as gravestones, book ends, clocks and fireplaces. Sandstone is also a common material used in the building of load bearing walls and in the chemical production industry the rock is used for flooring and walls because of the acid and alkaline resistance of the material.
الحصول على السعرOrganic sedimentary rocks form from the build up and decay of plant and animal material. This usually forms in swamp regions in which there is an abundant supply of growing vegetation and low amounts of oxygen. The vegetation builds so quickly that new layers of vegetation bury the dead and decaying material very quickly. The bacteria that decay the vegetation need oxygen to survive. Because ...

الحصول على السعرBuilding stones are the naturally occurring massive, dense rock which can be cut or shaped into blocks or slabs for use in wall, paving, roofing materials or other construction works. They have been used as building material since very early period of our civilization. Be it igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, a
الحصول على السعرA building stone may be defined as a rock that can be safely used as a rough unit or as a properly cut and shaped (dressed) block or slab or column or sheet in different situation in an engineering following physical properties are considered to be important for a rock to be used as a building material.

الحصول على السعرA rock is a naturally occurring aggregate of minerals, and certain nonmineral materials such as fossils and glass. Just as minerals are the building blocks of rocks, rocks in turn are the natural building blocks of the Earth's LITHOSPHERE (crust and mantle down to a depth of about 100 km), ASTHENOSPHERE (although this layer, in the depth range from about 100 to 250 km, is partially .
الحصول على السعر· Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). About 10% of sedimentary rocks are limestones. The solubility of .
الحصول على السعرFirstly, without sedimentary rocks we would not have chalk or salt and we would need to find alternate building material for most of the buildings in existence. Sandstone has been used around the world in construction, especially in regions where the stone is common. It is easy to work with. The Cliffe Castle Museum in West Yorkshire, England is composed completely of sandstone. Limestone is ...
الحصول على السعرThe metamorphic rocks are extensively used as building stones. The foliated rocks like slate, gneiss and schist are used as roofing material tabletops, staircases, etc. The most important nonfoliated rock is marble. It is considered to be an excellent building material for important monumental, historical and architectural buildings. Marble is extensively used in modern buildings also for the ...
