Which environment is a setting that can deposit sand?

Which environment is most likely to deposit a breccia?

if you were designing a rock that would be easily weathered, which of the following characteristics would it have?

these sandstone beds are interlayed with dark marine shales. what is the most likely environment in which the sandstone formed?

which of the following sites would contain the finest grained sedimentary deposits?

if a rock is poorly sorted, this mean the rock contains

peat forms from the accumulation of

which of the following is a characteristic of fine-grained clastic rocks

fine grained clastic rocks are

which of the following environments would most likely have sediment formed by evaporation of seawater?

sediments with a large amount of sand are most likely at

the deep sea floor is characterized by sediment dominated by

which of the following is not involved in turning some sediment into sedimentary rock

this sandstone includes shells of marine creatures that live in shallow water. what is the most likely environment in which it formed

a sandstone containing mostly sand but mixed with rounded pebbles and pieces of shells indicates deposition

sorting describes

because shales and siltstones are easily eroded, the areas where they are exposed typically:

lime muds and clastic limestone sands are deposits that form carbonate rocks in

sedimentary rocks are comprised of material that comes primarily from

the largest sand dunes in dry climates can stretch

a soft very fine grained limestone formed via the accumulation of the calcium carbonate remains of microorganisms is known as

which of the following characteristics are not used to classify and name clastic sediments

shallow coastal accumulations of sand that rise above the sea as long narrow islands are called

what happens to the majority of sediment being carried by moving water as it enters a standing body (little or no motion of water)

what type of rock would you form in this coral reef

which of the following processes is not considered physical weathering

melting glaciers tends to deposit most of the sediment they carry and create

which of the following environments would most likely consist of sand/or rounded cobbles

which of the following is most likely to deposit a conglomerate?

which of the following is not a type of carbonate rock

which of the following statements is not true about clastic sedimentary rocks?

fluvial refers to

which of the following is a common characteristic of carbonate rocks

which of the following environments would likely have large clasts

which environment is least likely to deposit siltstone or shale

what typically happens to the size, shape, and sorting of clasts as they are transported from steep mountains toward more gentle settings

shale is a common sedimentary rock because
