Across
- 5. hardening and welding of clastic sediments
- 6. consolidated sediments formed by the accumulation of fragments derived from preexisting rocks and transported as separate particles to their places of deposition by purely mechanical agents
- 8. composed of clay-sized sediments and often contains fossils
- 9. carbonate rich sediments consisting of fragments/shells of dead organisms
- 12. composed of silt-sized sediments
- 13. increase in the density by the weight of what is above
Down
- 1. minerals dissolved in water that get left behind when said water evaporates
- 2. Precipitates of biologic origin or cemented shell fragments
- 3. a rock created by the compaction and cementation of shells. “ Oh Shelly!”
- 4. lithified sedimentary rock consisting of angular fragments larger than 2mm { opposite of Conglomerate }
- 6. exhibits a crystal habit – “looks like a crystal”
- 7. composed of sand-sized sediments and may display layering
- 9. Naturally occurring, inflammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation
- 10. lithified sedimentary rock consisting of rounded fragments greater than 2mm { opposite of Breccia }
- 11. process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass
