2  Deposits of material left by wind, water, or moving ice.

3  Rock created when different grain size particles of Earth become compacted, cemented or re crystallized (lithification).

4  Boulders  Pebbles  Gravel  Sand  Silt  Clay

5 I Clastic – coarse grained to fine grained  Conglomerate  Breccia  Sandstone  Siltstone  Shale

6  Large grained  Rounded pebbles or gravel compacted and cemented together.

7  Large grained  jagged edged pebbles or gravel compacted and cemented together.

8  Small grained “gritty” texture

9 Fine grained – smooth texture

10  Very fine almost no grain. Very smooth texture.

11 II Organic – made from once living organisms. Coal Limestone

12  Coal – made from the remains of decayed plant and animal material.  Peat- plant matter  Lignite- brown coal/still some moisture present  Bituminous- soft black coal/almost all moisture removed  Anthracite – hardened black coal/ almost pure carbon/ no moisture

13 peat anthracite bituminous lignite

14  Limestone – begins as shells or calcium bearing animals or plants.  These die and float to the bottom of the ocean or lake they inhabit.  Eventually enough accumulates to create enough pressure to create limestone.

15  III Chemical sedimentary rock  Evaporates
