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.

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.
