Seasonal, cyclical, or other event based depositions of sediment are called strata.
The rock formed would usually be classified as clastic sedimentary rock, like shale.
sedimentary rock
Sandstone.
Instead of all the liquids mixing together, they form separate layers like a rainbow. They go in order with most dense on the bottom, and least dense on the top. When you do this experiment, you can use food coloring to differentiate the different liquids.
fold mountains form
No, a pure substance would not settle out and form two distinct layers. This does not happen becuase pure substances such as hydorgen or H2O does not consist of many different substances that could settle out and seperate into two distinct layers. ~ Justin .A.
A bend in rock layers created by pressure is called folding. It refers to a ductile behavior in which planar or flat layers of rock bend in response to stress.
Layered clouds, cirrocumulus clouds, are high level clouds. They form above 20,000 feet where it is cold. They are composed of ice crystals.

Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
Rock strata can be formed in layers at the bottom of lakes.
The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.
Water deposits the clay particles in thin, flat layers.
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
Two layers form and the two layers indicate immiscibility (lack of solubility).
The fluids with highest densities form the lowest layers. The fluids with lowest densities form the highest layers.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments that deposited by the wind and water. Over the time those sediments will get pressed and cemented together. It can take millions of years for sediments to become a rock. So the oldest layers of a sandstone are on a bottom.
Generically they are called sediments
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
