Is shale detrital chemical or organic rock?
Shale is a detrital rock, meaning it is composed of fragments of other rocks and minerals. It forms from the compaction and cementation of silt and clay particles. There are organic-rich shales as well, but they are still considered detrital in nature.
What is the detrital sediment sizes in order from smallest to largest?
Clay, Silt, Sand, Granule, Pebble, Cobble and Boulder.
What environment would detrital sediments predominate in?
Detrital sediments would predominate in environments such as rivers, deltas, and beaches where erosion and transportation of rocks and minerals occur. These sediments consist of weathered fragments of pre-existing rocks and are typically deposited by the action of water or wind.
How are gravel silt and clay similar?
All sediments
Is marble clastic or detrital?
Marble is neither clastic nor detrital; it is a metamorphic rock. It forms from the recrystallization of limestone or dolostone under heat and pressure. Clastic rocks are composed of fragments of other rocks, while detrital refers to sediments that are transported and deposited, which does not apply to marble's formation process.
Tiny bits of rock and dirt that build up on the bottoms of rivers and lakes are?
sediments. These sediments can vary in size from silt to pebbles, and they are carried by the flow of water and deposited on the river or lake bed. Over time, sediments can accumulate and create features such as deltas or riverbanks.
