Question
the rocks
drag each of the six items below to one of the three picture environments above them.
place each item in the location that you would most likely encounter where that item would be located or mostly likely would have formed.
areas with the highest current or wave energy
areas with moderate to high current or wave energy
areas away from shore in deep or quiet water areas
sandstone
shale
conglomerate
particles too small to be seen with the human eye
very large rounded particles or clasts
smaller particles that can been seen with the human eye
Sandstone is often formed in areas with moderate - to high current or wave energy as it consists of sand - sized grains that can be transported and deposited in such environments. Shale is made of very fine particles too small to be seen with the human eye and is typically formed in areas away from shore in deep or quiet water areas where fine sediments can settle. Conglomerate, which has very large rounded particles or clasts, is usually found in areas with the highest current or wave energy as it takes strong energy to transport and deposit such large particles. Smaller particles that can be seen with the human eye can be found in areas with moderate to high current or wave energy as well as they are transported and deposited in such dynamic environments.
