Weathering of ________
Calcium Carbonate _______
Both are Compacted together and compressed to form Sandstone

2. Origins of Sedimentary Rock
1) __________ from: wind, water, ice, sunlight, and gravity = small fragments
2) _________ moves sediment from one place to another

3. 3) ___________ is the process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it.
•Different types of sediment are ____, bones, _____, stems, and other ________ of living things.

4. 4) As new layers of sediment occur, they _________ the older layers.
5) Quartz and Calcite let water seep (or evaporate) past them to form a natural _________.
Occurs over millions of years.
• Transforms loose sediments into solid sedimentary rock

5. Locations of Sedimentary Rock
Near the Earth’s surface = no internal heat or pressure from the core
Visual cues= _______
__________(STRATIFICATION)

6. Sandstone –So… How do we go from sediment to Sedimentary rock???
–You tell me!
1.Weathering Sediment
2.Erosion
3.Deposition occurs
4.Compaction occurs
5.Cementation occurs
Sandstone

7. Composition: Sedimentary Rock is Classified by how it forms

Chemical: Crystalize from a solution like seawater ________________
Organic: Remains of plants & animals _____________

8. 1) Clastic Rocks

•_____________ is needed to hold the clay particles together.

9. ______________
Forms from the sand on beaches, on the ocean floor, in riverbeds, and in sand dunes.

10. Conglomerate rocks have fragments with _________ edges.

12. 2) ORGANIC Sedimentary Rocks
–Form where the remains of plants and animals are _________ in thick layers
–Two important organic rocks are ___________________.
–Coal –forms from the remains of swamp plants buried in water.

13. Limestone –the _____________ of living things
Limestone forms from the _______ found in the shells and skeletons of coral, clams, oysters, and snails.

14. Another example of limestone is ________.
(sediments of the skeletons of microscopic living things found in the oceans.)

15. 3) Chemical Rocks -form when minerals that are dissolved in a solution, __________________.
____________ can form when calcite that is dissolved in lakes, seas, or underground water comes out of solution and forms crystals.
