Questão Responda
What rock group does F belong to and how can you tell? Sedimentary: - contains fossils / is bioclastic - cement only occurs in sedimentary rocks
What rock group does E belong to and how can you tell? Igneous: - contains plagioclase phenocrysts - porphyritic texture - interlocking crystals - no cement
Identify this rock and use it characteristics to explain the environment in which it was deposited. Greywacke: - Deep sea turbidites due to angular, poorly sorted grains. - Rock fragments held in a matrix
Identify this rock and use it characteristics to identify its environment of deposition. Desert Sandstone: - Iron oxide cement forms in oxidising desert conditions. - Well sorted as wind only picks up sediment of one size. - Rounded due to abrasion. - All quartz grains suggesting long period of weathering.
