Document Summary

Study guide questions: know the two major classes of sedimentary rocks. Clastic made up of broken off pieces of other rocks: weather and erode pieces (clasts) off of other rocks, transport and then deposit clasts (specific pieces in specific places, cement the clasts together. Chemical form from evaporation, precipitation out of saturated solutions, or biological processes: what is a clast , know how and why rounding and mineral composition change with increasing time being transported in a clastic sedimentary system. What does this have to do with bowen"s reaction. Series: given our five different clastic rock types, be able to correctly order them from smallest grain size to largest grain size (conglomerates and breccias group together-conglomerates are rounded, breccias have angular grains).
