This week your homework blogging task is to research about a sedimentary rock. Tell us where it’s found, what it is made of and any uses it may have.
Bonus question: Where is this amazing formation found? What kind of rock is it?
Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock that is found all over the world. It can be many colours including tan, brown, yellow, red, grey, pink, white and black. Sandstone can be used for buildings, pavement bricks, statues and a long time ago Sandstone was also used for cutlery! It is made up of sediments from plants, rocks and many more. Bonus Question!! The ‘amazing’ landform is found in Arizona in the U.S.A. and it is also made of sandstone!!! It is sometimes called the Wave rock for obvious reasons!!!!!
Brilliant summary, HL! Very well written. Wow, it was used as cutlery?! Did it make your dinner sandy? 😉
I googled that image and it is found in a place called Arizona which is in America. It said that the rock is made of sandstone. I think that the colours are actually rock particles mixed with the sandstone. It is called The Wave.
CP, Excellent informative comments! Thanks for sharing those interesting facts.:)
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that is found all over the world it is in places such as Grampians , Twelve Apostles and the Blue Mountains.It can be used for buildings, statues, fountains and pavements. It is made of sand that has been compressed for thousands of years!
The Buchan Caves in East Gippsland are a limestone cave system. The caves were formed over millions of years by water erosion. Limestone is a sedimentary rock and can be used as a building material, to make glass and concrete, and can also be crushed and used in asphalt!
Coal is a sedimentary rock often mined for fuel. It forms from plant debris, Which accumulates (gathers) usually in a swamp environment.
Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock. Limestone makes up about 10% of the total types of all sedimentary rocks.
Limestone also has a variety of uses: as a building material, as aggregate for the base of roads, as white pigment or filler in products such as toothpaste or paints.
That picture is sandstone found in Arizona and is called The Wave.
Black shales contain organic material that sometimes breaks down to form natural gas or oil. Other shales can be crushed and mixed with water to produce clays that can be made into a variety of useful objects.
