Where in Hawaii can you find sedimentary rock?
Have you ever been to a beach like this one in North Kohala? Have you picked up a rock that has layers or fractured pieces inside it? You just picked up a sedimentary rock!
Do you know the process in which sediments or deposition are compacted together from extreme heat and pressure? If you guessed lithification you are correct!
The beach to the left, is the fabulous Keokea Beach home of sedimentary rocks. The picture below is also the Keokea Beach, this picture shows the layered and fractured land piece another characteristic of sedimentary rocks.

The Northwest Pacific Tectonic Plate is moving. All the soil and depositions that are found near the plate form sedimentary rocks from the pressure and temperatures. Watch the following video to learn more about the incredible tectonic plates.
How can an igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?
- Igneous rocks is magma/ lava, cooled that erupted from a volcano near by. Sedimentary rocks are deposits and sediments compacted together from extreme pressure and temperatures. Igneous rocks can be broken down and weathered down into smaller pieces compacting together with other deposits forming a sedimentary rock.
