PLEASE ANSWER ALL OF THESE ANSWER
Review the chart below and use it to complete the data chart that follows by filling in the data cells with information about sedimentary rock samples 15 through 19 Sample Number Clastic or Effervesces Under Acid? Environment of Main Minerals Nonclastic? Formation in the Sample 15 16 17 18 19 fluvial, eolian or quartz beach fluvial Clastic Clastic Nonclastic- Clastic Nonclastic- organic no no varies; often uartz calcite shallow marine evaporite fluvial, lacustrine, clay minerals or shallow marine shallow marine yes anic no noExplanation / Answer
The given data chart is filled and is as following:
Yellowish colour, quartz is the most dominant visible mineral grain, feldspars are also present. Most of the grains are sand sized. Here mineral grains are separated by voids, that is showing clastic texture. They are generally massive to layered.
Sample number Description of texture Sample name 15Yellowish colour, quartz is the most dominant visible mineral grain, feldspars are also present. Most of the grains are sand sized. Here mineral grains are separated by voids, that is showing clastic texture. They are generally massive to layered.
Sandstone 16 Coarse grained sedimentary rock, rounded to subangular gravel sized clasts of quartz, and feldspar which are bounded by matrix of sand to clay sized particles. Overall the rock showing clastic texture. This is generally massive in appearance. Conglomerate 17 This is a biochemical sedimentary rock, white to grey coloured, varied in composition from skeletal to non-skeletal. Main composition is calcite. Overall showing non-clastic texture. Generally massive in appearance. Limestone 18 Generally grey to black coloured fine grained sedimentary rock. Clastic sedimentary rock of silt to clay sized grains. They contains mainly clay minerals, and due to preferred orientation of clay minerals and micas parallel to the bedding they are layered in appearance. Shale 19 This is a white to gray coloured carbonate rock composed mainly of mineral dolomite. This is also a biochemical sedimentary rock showing nonclastic texture. This is massive in appearance.
