Virginia Earth Science Sedimentary and Metamorphic rock

Sedimentary rocks can form from ​ (a)   , from the remains of ​ (b)   , or from ​ (c)   .

Sedimentary rocks are classified by the way ​ (d)  

• particles of rock
• plants or animals
• chemical reactions
• they are formed

Sedimentary rocks are formed from ​ (a)   of small pieces of rocks or shells.

Sedimentary rocks are usually found near ​ (b)   , the flat layers or ​ (c)   .

​ (d)   are found in these layers.

• compaction and cementation
• water
• strata
• Fossils

What rocks are formed from the remains of plants and animals or fossils

• Sedimentary

• Igenous

• Metamorphic

Sedimentary rocks are classified by:

• type of rocks

• way they are formed

• where they are found

​ (a)   rocks come from fragments of other rocks.

Examples: Shale, Sandstone

​ (b)   sedimentary rock is formed when mineral grains ​ (c)   are precipitated or ​ (d)   when a solution ​ (e)   .

• Clastic sedimentary
• Non-clastic chemical
• dissolved in water
• left behind
• evaporates
