Sedimentary Rock and Fossil Fuels Formation Texas

Small particles of broken down rock can be formed into sedimentary rock when they are buried and then -

• melted completely because of extreme heat.

• compressed and cemented together.

• pushed upward and exposed to wind and water.

• contaminated by underground nuclear material.
