Presentation Transcript

  1. SEDIMENTARY ROCKBy:Cody M. ,Fabian ,Joseph and Rylie Erosion and deposion are some of the most Important parts in the formation of sedimentary Rocks. Wind ,water ,ice and chemicals break down the rock into the sediment that is carried and deposited by wind ,water and glaciers.

  2. SHALE • Shale's texture is smooth. • The top is bubby and the bottom is soft. • It is dark grey.

  3. ROCK SALT • Rock salt’s texture is bumpy. Rock salt looks kind of like it has crystals in it. Rock salt is a chemical created sedimentary rock.

  4. CONGLOMERATE • Conglomerate’s texture is very very bumpy. • It is shiny when you put in the sun. • Has littler rocks in it.
