Kerrostumakivissä
Kerrostumakivissä, known in English as stratified rocks or sedimentary rocks, are a major class of rocks that are formed from the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. These particles, which form the sediments, originate from weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks, or from the precipitation of minerals from solution, or from the biological activity of organisms. Sedimentary rocks cover approximately 75% of the Earth's surface, though they make up only about 5% of the Earth's crust by volume.
The formation process of kerrostumakivissä involves several key stages. First, the source material is weathered, breaking
Common types of kerrostumakivissä include sandstone, shale, limestone, and conglomerate. Sandstone is composed primarily of sand-sized
