Coal and coral reef limestone are organic sediments
salt is an evaporite

Examples of lithified sediment?
Examples would be: limestone, chalj, dolostone, sandstone, conglomerate and some types of shale.
What kinds of rocks would you need to find an aquifer?
Sandstone. Shale and limestone do work, but they are not as good as sandstone. Wet mud also works, but it is not as permeable as sandstone.
Would you expect a quartzite or a sandstone to break more easily?
a sandstone would break more easily because a quartzite is harder. a quartzite is made of sandstone melted together by magma
Is conglomerate rock good for foundations?
It would be excellent for a foundation, yes.
What would happen to the sandstone as the water froze and expanded?
The sandstone will start to break and after 1 or 2 days it will be in tiny pieces.
What would be best to use as a building material- sandstone or conglomerate?
both would be a good building material because conglomerate is mixed with water and moisture mixed which makes it easier to stick and sandstone because its above conglomerate. :]
What is finer than conglomerate but coarser than siltstone?
A sandstone would fit that description.
Examples of lithified sediment?
Examples would be: limestone, chalj, dolostone, sandstone, conglomerate and some types of shale.
What group would you classify coral into?
botany because it is a type of plant
What rocks are a mix of rounded pebbled and sand?
Conglomerates.
Compaction would probably be more significant as a lithification process for shale sandstone conglomerate or breccia?
Shale, because sand and other coarse sediments compress little.
What are Bits and pieces of rocks clumped together called?
A clump. Unless they have undergone compaction and cementation in a process known as lithification. Then they would be classified as a sedimentary rock, maybe conglomerate, breccia, or sandstone.
From where a creek runs into a lake and out to the middle of that lake in what order would you most likely find the three basic types of clastic sedimentary rock?
shale in the middle sandstone near the start and conglomerate on the shore
Explain how pieces of granite and slate could found in the same piece of conglomerate?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that is composed of sever host rocks. These host rocks could be from very different environments, and from very far away. That is how you get two very different rocks within one conglomerate. the heat smelts them together
What kinds of rocks would you need to find an aquifer?
Sandstone. Shale and limestone do work, but they are not as good as sandstone. Wet mud also works, but it is not as permeable as sandstone.
A sedimentary rock that is formed from sand deposits?
A type of sedimentary rock that is formed from compressed sand would be: Sandstone.
Would you expect quartzite or sandstone to break more easily?
Sandstone
