Of the common sedimentary rock types... A (for Limestone): B (for Sandstone): C (for Shale): D (for Arkose): E (for Conglomerate): F (for Breccia) G (for Chalk): H (for non-biogenic Chert): I (for Siltstone): J (for Greywacke). ...what specific sedimentary rock type would develop from active sedimentation in the following areas: a.) East African Rift, East Africa _____ b.) Sahara Desert, Africa _____ c.) Marianas Trench, Pacific _____ d.) New Jersey Shoreline _____ e.) Below collapsed NH Old Man Mt. _____ f) High white Mountain Rivers, NH _____ g.) Great Barrier Reef, off Australia _____ h.) Central Gulf of Maine _____Explanation / Answer
1.East african rift,east africa-Non biogenic chert
2.Sahara Desert- Sandstone due to lithification
3.Marianas trench,pacific-grey wacke
4.New Jersey shoreline-Chalk mostly found because coastal areas having poorly consolidated sediments.
5.Below collapsed NH oldman Mt.- arkose
6.High white mountain riers,NH- Conglomerate
7.Great barrier reef,off australia- limestone because of biochemical process.
8. Central gulf of maine- Siltstone
