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.
Which of the following rocks would most likely contain a fossil sandstone granite marble or basalt?
Limestone
Examples of lithified sediment?
Examples would be: limestone, chalj, dolostone, sandstone, conglomerate and some types of shale.
If limestone was crushed what would it do to the rate of reaction between an acid and the limestone?
If the limestone was crushed the reaction would speed up because the limestone would have a larger surface area available to react with the acid.
What type of rock is made of sediments?
Sandstone, claystone, limestone, or various other type of sedimentary rocks. That answer is WAY wrong the correct answer would be a sedimentary rock.
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them?
shale and sandstone

Would you have a land fill on limestone and sandstone?
both limestone and sandstone are highly permeable to water. As there are often toxic substances which leak from landfill, it is necessary to collect water which falls on the heap. For this reason, permeable rocks like limestone and sandstone are not the ideal basement for a landfill, and may require significant infrastructure to prevent contamination of the water table below the landfill. They are ideal landfills if the need is there for drainage. Permeable rock has many uses in landfill. Landfill in areas that are naturally high in limestone or sandstone content would have no issues with a little more of either material in it.

Limestone
What is more porous sandstone or limestone?
on what type of sedimentary rock would you choose to locate a garbage dump (sanitary landfill)? why? Sandstone tends to be much more porous, so that would be the general answer. But given the varieties it is certainly possible to find samples where it would be the reverse.

Are talc gneiss sandstone quartz slate limestone parts of the moon?
No, certainly limestone could not occur as a lunar material as they are biological products. The others too are a result of terrestrial geological processes - sandstone, slate, gneiss - that have not occurred on the moon. However it is possible that the minerals talc (unlikely) and quarts (very likley) would be present in lunar rocks.
How would you classify coal coral reef salt sandstone and conglomerate?
Coal and coral reef limestone are organic sediments salt is an evaporite Sandstone and conglomerate are sedimentary deposit rocks the latter from a high energy environment. They are ALL sedimentary deposits.
