Formation of Wackestone



Formation

Formation
Wackestone is a type of sedimentary rock formed when a river carries or transports pieces of broken rock as it flows. These particles settle down and are then compacted due to high temperature and pressure hence forming Wackestone. 0

Wackestone Formation

Wackestone formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Wackestone Uses and the Wackestone Reserves are found in many countries around the world. The rocks in the earth’s crust continuously undergo changes in their composition which leads to formation of other rocks. Each rock has a unique formation process. Formation of Wackestone is explained below:
