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
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
| arrow_right_alt | Slate |
| arrow_right_alt | Phyllite |
| arrow_right_alt | Schist |
| arrow_right_alt | Gneiss |
List the 4 rocks identified above in order from lowest (TOP) to highest (BOTTOM) amount of metamorphism (heat and pressure).
Slate
Phyllite
Schist
Gneiss
Match each of the metamorphic rocks listed below with one possible parent rock from the following list: bitumi-
nous coal, shale, limestone, slate, granite, sandstone.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Limestone | arrow_right_alt | Anthracite Coal |
Slate | arrow_right_alt | Slate |

Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the rock cycle diagram below.
State the specific names of rocks A, B, and C in the diagram. Not all rock names are used. Only one rock name should be used for rocks A, B, and C.
Obsidian
Rock Salt
Shale
Metaconglomerate
Gneiss
Rhyolite
Granite
Rock A
Rock B
Rock C
