What else can I help you with?
Over millions of years silt washed into a lake formed layers of sedimentary rock. What type of rock was likely formed?
The type of rock likely formed from layers of sedimentary rock created by silt washing into a lake is shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that typically forms from the compaction of silt and clay particles over time. As these sediments accumulate and undergo lithification, they transform into shale, characterized by its layered appearance and tendency to split along bedding planes.
Slate is a type of what rock?
A metamorphic rock.
What are three categories of things that might be part of the sediments in sedimentary rock?

What type of rock is a stiltstone?
Siltstone is a fine-grained sedimentary rock consisting of consolidated silt.
What rock is cemented mud or clay or silt?
The rock that is cemented mud, clay, or silt is called shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted and hardened mud or clay particles.
What rocks materials are found in soil?
Soil can contain a variety of rock materials, such as sand, silt, and clay particles derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks. It may also contain larger rock fragments and minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica that have been broken down over time. The specific rock materials in soil will depend on the parent rock type in the area and the processes of weathering and erosion that have occurred.
Sedimentary rock is formed from?
Small particles of sand, silt, and clay
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from compressed clay and silt?
Shale
