FOUND WHERE? Cut foldable vertically to middle line, making 3 tabs to write notes under. • Sedimentary rocks are found in layers, formed from ancient seas or from deposition of sediments. FORMED HOW? Sediments are made from weathering of rocks then carried by ice, wind or water (erosion) and deposited sediments get compacted together in layers eventually cemented together when the minerals dissolve to form a natural glue which holds sediments in place. CHARACTERISTICS Sedimentary Rocks are classified into 3 groups 1) Clastic – formed by mechanical weathering 2) Chemical – forms when minerals come out of a solution and settle on the ocean floor 3) Organic – formed from the compaction of plant remains SEDIMENTARY ROCK #1 Conglomerate – Clastic • Make a drawing • Write 2 observations • Write name and Classification (above) SEDIMENTARY ROCK #2 Sandstone – Clastic • Make a drawing • Write 2 observations • Write name and Classification (above) SEDIMENTARY ROCK #3 Limestone – Chemical • Make a drawing • Write 2 observations • Write name and Classification (above) SEDIMENTARY ROCK #4 Shale – Clastic • Make a drawing • Write 2 observations • Write name and Classification (above) SEDIMENTARY ROCK #5 Rock Salt – Chemical • Make a drawing • Write 2 observations • Write name and Classification (above) SEDIMENTARY ROCK #6 Bituminous Coal – Organic • Make a drawing • Write 2 observations • Write name and Classification (above)
