When sediment is deposited in layers and compacted, a ___________________________ is formed. 2. Dissolved minerals separate from water and become a natural ___________________ that binds the sedimentary rock together. 3. Sedimentary rocks form at or near the Earth’s ______________________. 4. The most noticeable feature of sedimentary rock is often its layers, or ____________. COMPOSITION OF SEDIMENTARY ROCK 5. Rock or mineral fragments are called ______________________. 6. Sedimentary rock that forms when rock or mineral fragments are cemented together is called ______________________ sedimentary rock. 7. Clastic sedimentary rocks can have coarse-, medium-, or fine-grained __________________. 8. Sedimentary rock that forms when minerals crystallize out of solution, such as sea water, to become rock is called ______________________ sedimentary rock. 9. Sedimentary rock that forms from the remains, or fossils, of plants and animals is called ______________________ sedimentary rock. 10. Some limestone is made of the skeletons of tiny organisms called __________________ that live in the ocean in huge colonies called ___________________. 11. Limestone made from the calcium carbonate from skeletons and shells of sea creatures is called ______________________ limestone. 12. An organic sedimentary rock that forms from the action of heat and pressure on plant material over millions of years is called ______________________ SEDIMENTARY ROCK STRUCTURES 13. The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers is called __________________.
