Even dirt can be metamorphosed into a beautiful rock. But first, it must be buried deep enough to be compacted and cemented. Sedimentary rocks made up of clay-size material (dirt! mud!) are called __________. Group of answer choicesbasaltshalelimestoneNo answer text provided.

Sediment becomes sedimentary ROCK when it is deposited, compacted, and cemented together by chemicals that are transported by groundwater Easy question: Sand-size sediment, of any chemical composition, that goes through this process becomes ______________. When you see this sedimentary rock, you know you are in a location that was once a desert or a beach. In some places, you can even see textures characteristic of sand dunes.Group of answer choiceschalkconglomeratesandstonecoaloolitic limestone

When shale is buried to depths where temperatures are about 400*C, it metamorphoses into __________. This rock splits into thin sheets like shale does, but not nearly as easily. Although it is laminated, it is very strong, which makes it useful for roof and floor tiles.Group of answer choicesmarblegneissslateschist
