This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area. How does sediment become sedimentary
What Are Some Examples Of Hydrogenous Sediments? Hydrogenous sediments are sediments directly precipitated from water. Examples include rocks called evaporites formed by the evaporation of salt bearing water (seawater or briny freshwater). What is Hydrogenous sediments composed of? Hydrogenous sediments are created from chemical reactions in seawater. Under special chemical conditions, dissolved materials in seawater
