TRUE / FALSE
White coal is also known as galena T/F
Brown stone is a type of sedimentary rock used in building T/F
Explanation / Answer
1. Lake bed - kitty litter . The bottom of a lake is known as lake bed which is composed of clay layer or kitty litter.
Lava flow - source of lead. These radioactive lead is used to date the age of lava flow
Delta - mixed sand and gravel. Delta is a discrete protuberance of sediment where a sediment-ladden current enters an open body of water, at which point there is an reduction of cyrrent velocity.
Feldspar rock - raw materials used in porcelain. Feldspar is a backbone of porcelain industry.
2. Brick industry's raw materials come from geologic deposits like aquifer.
The main element of starting a brick is raw clay with approximately 25% sand as sand reduces the shrinkage. Clay and sand mainly associate with aquifer which is a geological formation having good porosity and permeability.
3. White coal is also known as galena - False.
White coal is produced by drying chopped wood. It is a form of fuel. On the other hand, galena is a mineral.
4. Brown stone is a type of sedimentary rock used in building - True.
Brown stone is Triassic-Jurassic sandstone which was used to make buildings.
