Why are geologists interested in outcrops and cliffs?
In outcrops and cliffs it is possible to see multiple layers of rock exposed in one place, which makes it easier to study a set of rocks.
Are bits of shells considered as a sediment?
Yes, coral beaches are a sedimentary deposit, much as a sand beach would be. Bits of shell also precipitate out of water to congeal into limestone formations, or the bodies of calcareous coccolithophores settle to form chalk deposits, as in the famous white cliffs of Dover. Limestone is regarded as a sedimentary rock.
Where in the world can you find limestone and sand stone?
There are MANY places. The types can also vary greatly. For examplelime stone is quarried in Iowa. It also makes the underlying strata in Mexico south of Cancun. The stone is soft and over MANY years holes form called cynotes and caves. In England, the white cliffs of Dover are white primarily because of the limestone content. Sandstone is also a relatively soft rock. Much sandstone is located in the desert area of the Southwest US. There are some interesting rock formations formed by the wind eroding the sandstone.
