14 multiple choice 5 points if rock particles are eroded and deposited, they may mix with dead organic matter to form ______. shale organic sedimentary rock chemical sedimentary rock sandstone 15 multiple choice 5 points fossils are only found in ______. non - foliated rocks volcanic rock sedimentary rocks plutonic rocks
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- When rock particles are eroded and deposited and mix with dead - organic matter, they form organic sedimentary rock. Shale is a type of sedimentary rock but not specifically formed from the mixture of rock particles and dead organic matter as described. Chemical sedimentary rock forms from chemical precipitation, and sandstone is mainly composed of sand - sized grains without the emphasis on organic matter mixture.
- Fossils are only found in sedimentary rocks. Non - foliated rocks are a type of metamorphic rock and do not contain fossils. Volcanic rock (igneous rock formed from lava) and plutonic rock (igneous rock formed from magma cooling deep underground) do not preserve fossils as the high temperatures destroy organic material.
Answer:
- B. organic sedimentary rock
- C. sedimentary rocks
