1. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

2. Sedimentary Rock – Rocks formed from sediment that is compacted and cemented

3. Stratification – the process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers
Strata – layers of rock

4. Clastic Sedimentary Rock – rock made of fragments of rocks cemented together

5. Chemical Sedimentary Rock – rock that forms from solutions of dissolved minerals and water

6. Organic Sedimentary Rock – rocks that form from the remains of organisms that were once living

7. Types of Sedimentary Rocks
Limestone:
Made of calcium carbonate or calcite. The most common sources are the shells of marine organisms.
These type of rocks can be found in ancient sea beds.

8. Types of Sedimentary Rocks
Conglomerate:
Made of rounded pebbles cemented together. These pebbles have been rounded by the action of moving water.
These can be found near rivers, streams, or long ago beaches.

9. Types of Sedimentary Rocks
Coal:
Made of fossilized peat or dead plant material
Found at the bottom of ancient swamps

10. Types of Sedimentary Rocks
Sandstone:
Made from sediment formed from weathering of rock into sand grains that are then cemented together into solid stone over time
Found in areas where ancient seafloors, dunes, deserts, or beaches once occurred
