2 This sedimentary rock texture means bits and pieces of rock. Clastic

3 When a stream flows into a lake, the sediments are typically distributed by size. This is called: Sorting

4 The sediment with a size between 6.4 cm and 25.6 cm is called: Cobble

5 The sedimentary rock that forms from clay sediments is called: Shale

6 The first step in the process of sedimentary rock formation is: Deposition

7 Only sedimentary rocks may contain this important clue to past life on Earth: Fossils

8 Letter B is the symbol for which sedimentary rock? Limestone

9 Which grain size is missing from the list? pebbles Boulders, cobbles, ________, sand, silt, clay

10 What process in a stream is responsible for rounding these rocks? abrasion

11 This important sedimentary rock is formed from compacted plant remains. Coal

12 What property is used to classify land- derived sedimentary rocks? Grain or particle size

13 This sedimentary rock is composed of calcite. limestone

14 A stream slows to a velocity of 2cm/s. Which type of sedimentary rock would form from deposition occurring at this location? Sandstone

15 During which geologic period did the bedrock around Syracuse form? Silurian

16 In what NYS landscape region are the following two sedimentary rocks found? Erie-Ontario Lowlands

17 If a shallow sea dried up, what sedimentary rock would likely form? Rock Salt

18 What test can be performed to see if a rock is limestone? Acid test

19 What sedimentary rock began forming during the Carboniferous Period? coal

20 What sedimentary rock is composed of rounded pebbles? conglomerate
