Sedimentary Rocks Chapter 3-3

Sedimentary Rocks 3.3 What are the three types of Sedimentary Rocks? NBpg. 38 Slide 1 of 5 Sedimentary Rocks 3.3 What are the three types of Sedimentary Rocks? Chemical Formed from minerals that were dissolved in water Water evaporates leaving behind minerals that form rocks named evaporites Examples: Gypsum (the stuff that drywall is made of) and Halite (rock salt)

Sedimentary Rocks 3.3 Organic NBpg. 38 Slide 2 of 5 Sedimentary Rocks 3.3 Organic: Rocks made from the remains of living things Coal forms when plants are buried before they decay and are then compacted into a solid made mostly of carbon Limestone forms from the shells of marine organisms like coral, clams oysters and plankton. Organic

Sedimentary Rocks 3.3 Clastic NBpg. 38 Slide 3 of 5 Sedimentary Rocks 3.3 Made from different types of rock fragments that are joined together by, Compaction: sediment is squeezed by the layers above so the space between the rock fragments is reduced Cementation: minerals seep into the spaces between the rock fragments and glue these fragments together Clastic sedimentary rock

NBpg. 38 Slide 4 of 5 Sedimentary Rocks 3.3 Determined by the way the sediment is transported (water, ice, wind, and gravity) Speed of travel affects the size of sediment that can be moved Distance affects how much happens to the sediment along the way More collisions cause the particles to become more rounded Angularity a measurement of how rounded a particle is. Characteristics of Clastic Sediments

Types of Clastic Sedimentary Rock Classified by the size and shape of the sediment they contain Rock Name Size Sediment Name Shape Conglomerate Course (over 2 mm) Gravel Rounded fragments Sandstone Medium (1/16 to 2 mm) Sand Sand sized fragments Shale Very fine less than (1/256 mm) Mud Clay-sized particles Breccia Coarse (over 2 mm) Angular fragments

Types of Clastic Sedimentary Rock Classified by the size and shape of the sediment they contain Conglomerate (rounded fragments) Sandstone (sand sized- fragments Breccia (angular fragments) Shale (clay-sized particles)
