  1. Sedimentary Rocks Ingle

  2. Sedimentary Rocks • Sedimentary rocks are formed by layers of • Soil • Sand • Seashells • Remains of dead animals

  3. Sedimentary Rocks • The constant layering of the sediments creates a great amount of weight on the layers below • This amount of pressure produces some heat

  4. Sedimentary Rocks • Minerals from the water seep into the spaces between the particle ands help cement the particles into a solid rock.

  5. Sedimentary Rocks • As the pressure increases, water is forced out and the tiny particles compact

  6. Sedimentary Rocks • The process of compaction (pressing tightly together) and cementation (binding together) complete the process of turning sediments into rocks

  7. Sedimentary Rocks • What role did the epsom salt play in making the model? • What did the sand represent? • Where is the slat that was added to the model?

  8. Grand Canyon • Grand canyon is made up of sandstone, limestone and shale. These rocks are all……..
