Use Figure above to identify the environment(s) (A–L) where the sediment for the following sedimentary rocks could have been deposited. Some of these rocks can be found in multiple environments; please include all possible answers. Hint: You will need to know the grain size and/or composition of the sediment that makes up the rock.
Rock Gypsum
Conglomerate
Sandstone
Shale
Bituminous Coal
Limestone
The rocks in Zion National Park, Utah, consist of layers of well-sorted quartz sandstone, shown below. Describe the environment that existed when these sediments were deposited. (Hint: Examine the sedimentary environments shown above.)
Base your answer on the pictures of four rocks. Each circle shows a magnified view of a rock. Which rock is metamorphic and shows evidence of foliation?
How are the three rock types classified?
Identify the foliated metamorphic rocks shown below
