Which is most resistant to water erosion quartzite shale or sandstone?
Quartzite
What are the 3 different types of cement that bind sand together in Sandstone?
Silica also called quartz cement, Calcite Cement, Iron Oxides also called hematite cement that bind sand together in sandstone. Sandstone also has other cementing agents that occur in less common forms. These cementing agents include pyrite, barite and gypsum.
What is the scientific name for sandstone?
The scientific name for sandstone is STUPID
What are the properties of sandstone?
Sandstone is grainy, porous, and can be found to contain fossils.
Why was red sandstone used in Mughal architecture?
Local availability of red sandstone.
What are types sedimentary rock?

What are some examples of sedimatary rocks?
Shale, Sandstone, Conglomerate, Limestone, Breccia, Siltstone
What are the three most common clastic sedimentary rocks?
The three most common clastic sedimentary rocks are sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. Sandstone is composed of grains of sand cemented together. Shale is made of very fine particles like clay and mud. Conglomerate is a mix of larger rock fragments that are cemented together.
Name four clastic sedimentary rocks and explain how these rocks form?
Sandstone: formed by the cementation of sand grains. Conglomerate: formed by the cementation of rounded pebbles. Siltstone: formed by the compaction of silt-sized particles. Shale: formed by the compaction of clay and silt particles.
Which characteristic determines whether a rock is classified as a shale a siltstone a sandstone or a conglomerate?
the particle size of the sediments within the rock
Which characteristic setermines weather a rock classified as a shale a slitstone a sandstone or a conglomerate?
The size of the grains or particles within the rock determines whether it is classified as shale, siltstone, sandstone, or conglomerate. Shale has very fine grains, siltstone has fine grains, sandstone has medium-sized grains, and conglomerate has large grains or pebbles. Additionally, the sorting and composition of the grains can also help differentiate between these rock types.
What types of rock are Sedimentary rock?
Some types of sedimentary rocks include limestone, sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. Sedimentary rocks form through the accumulation and lithification of sediment such as minerals, organic materials, and rock fragments that are transported and deposited by water, wind, or ice. The characteristics and composition of sedimentary rocks can provide valuable information about Earth's history and processes.
How are sandstone and siltstone differ from one another?
Both are sedimentary rocks, but the size of the grains in siltstone is smaller than those in sandstone.
What are 4 common rocks?
Sandstone, limestone, granite and shale.
How are sandstone and siltstone alike and different?
Both sandstone and siltstone are clastic sedimentary rocks formed by broken fragments of rock being deposited and then turned into solid rock by heat and pressure. The main difference is in grain size. Sandstone has larger grains than siltstone.
What are the three most common sedimentary rocks?
shale, sandstone, and limestone
Is siltstone hard?
Sandstone is pretty tough! Sandstone is in between hard and pretty hard. If sandstone is made to build buildings, towers, bridges, and arcs and they have stayed up and have never fallen then there pretty strong!
