Identify seven features that you can use to identify the depositional environment in which sedimentary rocks formed?
Sorting= The tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size.Angularity= As sediment is transported from its source to where it is deposited, the particles collide with each other and with other objects in their path.Stratification= Layering of sedimentary rock.Cross beds and graded bedding= Some sedimentary rocks are characterized by slanting layers. Graded bedding are various sizes and kinds of materials are deposited within one layer a type of stratification.Ripple marks= Are caused by the action of wind or water on sand.Fossils = Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals.Concretions are sedimentary rocks that sometimes contain lumps of rock that have a composition that is different from that of the main rock body.

What is the brief summary of the section sorting in the Earth space science book?
sorting is the tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size. sediments that can be sorted is sorted very poorly or somewhat between good and bad sorting. all the grains are rough in the well sorted sediments from the same sized and shape. many different size and shape sediments are sorted in the very poorly sediments category. the sorting of a result of change in the in speed of that agent that is moving the sediments.
