A clastic sedimentary rock with large pieces of rock in it is called:

• chemical

• organic

• conglomerate

• igneous

Chemical sedimentary rock can form as a result of

• Eruptions

• Cementation

• Metamorphism

• Evaporation

Sedimentary rocks are

• formed form already existing rocks that are weathered,

  eroded, compacted and cemented together

• cooled on the surface of the Earth from lava

• formed below Earth's surface as magma

• formed from great heat and pressure

This processes presses sediments together:

• heat

• cementation

• compaction

• weathering

NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

This process "glues" the particles of sediment together:

• cementation

• compaction

• calcification

• weathering

What type of sedimentary rock is this CONGLOMERATE rock?

• Chemical

• Organic

• Clastic

This is coal. Coal is formed from once living organisms They may form from carbon-rich plant material or from deposits of animals’ shells. This type of sedimentary rock is called:

• Organic

• Chemical

• Clastic

This is chert. Water traveling through rock dissolves some of the minerals, which are re- deposited when the water evaporates or becomes over saturated.This type of sedimentary rock is called:

• Organic

• Clastic

• Chemical
