Sedimentary rock

Middle Triassicmarginal marine sequence of siltstones (below)and limestones (above), Virgin Formation, southwestern Utah.

Sedimentary rock is one of the three mainrocktypes(the others beingigneousandmetamorphic rock). Sedi-

mentary rock is formed by deposition and consolidation

of mineral and organic material and from precipitation

of minerals from solution. The processes that form sedi-

mentary rock occur at the surface of the Earth and with-

in bodies of water. Rock formed fromsedimentscovers

75-80% of the Earths land area, and includes common

types such as limestone, chalk, dolostone, sandstone,

conglomerate, some types ofbreccia, andshale.[1]

Sedimentary rocks are classified by the source of

their sediments, and are produced by one or more of: clastic rockformed from fragments broken off from

parent rock, by

weatheringin situ or

erosionby water, ice or wind

followed bytransportationof sediments, to the

place ofdeposition;

biogenicactivity; or

precipitationfromsolution.

The sediments are then compacted and converted to

rock by the process oflithification.

FormationSedimentaryrocksare formed because of theoverbur-

den pressureas particles ofsedimentare depositedout

of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the

particles in suspension. As sediment deposition builds

up, the overburden (or lithostatic) pressure squeezes

the sediment into layered solids in a process known as

lithification(rock formation) and the originalconnate

fluidsare expelled. The termdiagenesisis used to de-

scribe all the chemical, physical, and biological changes,

includingcementation, undergone by a sediment after

its initial deposition and during and after its lithifica-

tion, exclusive of surface weathering.

Sedimentary rocks are laid down in layers called

bedsorstrata. That new rock layers are above older rock

layers is stated in theprinciple of superposition. There

are usually some gaps in the sequence called uncon-

formities. These represent periods in which no new sedi-

ments were being laid down, or when earlier sediment-

ary layers were raised above sea level and eroded away.

Sedimentary rocks contain important information

about thehistory of Earth. They containfossils, the pre-

served remains of ancient plants andanimals. Coal is

considered a type of sedimentary rock. The composition

of sediments provides us with clues as to the original

rock. Differences between successive layers indicate

changes to the environment which have occurred over

time. Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because, un-

like most igneous and metamorphic rocks, they form at

temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil

remains.

The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the

Earthscrustis extensive, but the total contribution ofsedimentary rocks is estimated to be only 5% of the

total. As such, the sedimentary sequences we see repres-

ent only a thin veneer over a crust consisting mainly of

igneous and metamorphic rocks.

ClassificationSedimentary rocks are classified into three groups.

These groups are clastic, chemical precipitate and bio-

chemical or biogenic.

ClasticClastic sedimentary rocks are composed of discrete frag-

ments or clasts of materials derived from other

minerals. They are composed largely ofquartzwith oth-

er common minerals including feldspar, amphiboles,

clay minerals, and sometimes more exoticigneousand

metamorphicminerals.

Clastic sedimentary rocks, such as breccia or sand-

stone, were formed from rocks that have been broken

down into fragments by weathering, which then have

been transported and deposited elsewhere.

Clastic sedimentary rocks may be regarded as falling

along a scale ofgrain size, withshalebeing the finest

with particles less than 0.002 mm,siltstonebeing a little

bigger with particles between 0.002 to 0.063 mm, and

sandstonebeing coarser still with grains 0.063 to 2 mm,

andconglomeratesandbrecciasbeing more coarse with

grains 2 to 263 mm. Breccia has sharper particles, while

conglomerate is categorized by its rounded particles.

Particles bigger than 263 mm are termed blocks(angular)

or boulders(rounded). Lutite, Areniteand Ruditeare gen-

eral terms for sedimentary rock with clay/silt-, sand- orconglomerate/breccia-sized particles.

The classification of clastic sedimentary rocks is

complex because there are many variables involved.

Particle size (both the average size and range of sizes of

the particles), composition of the particles, the cement,

and the matrix (the name given to the smaller particles

present in the spaces between larger grains) must all be

taken into consideration.

Shales, which consist mostly of clay minerals, are

generally further classified on the basis of composition

and bedding. Coarser clastic sedimentary rocks are clas-

sified according to their particle size and composition.

Orthoquartzite is a very pure quartz sandstone;arkoseis

a sandstone with quartz and abundant feldspar; grey-

wacke is a sandstone with quartz, clay, feldspar, and

metamorphic rock fragments present, which was formed

from the sediments carried by turbidity currents.

All rocks disintegrate when exposed to mechanical

and chemicalweatheringat the Earths surface.

Lower Antelope Canyon was carved out of the surroundingsandstone by both mechanical weathering and chemical

weathering. Wind, sand, and water fromflash flooding are theprimary weathering agents.

Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rock in-

to particles without producing changes in the chemical

composition of the minerals in the rock. Ice is the most

important agent of mechanical weathering. Water per-

colates into cracks and fissures within the rock, freezes,

and expands. The force exerted by the expansion is suf-

ficient to widen cracks and break off pieces of rock.

Heating and cooling of the rock, and the resulting ex-

pansion and contraction, also aids the process. Mechan-

ical weathering contributes further to the breakdown of

rock by increasing the surface area exposed to chemical

agents.

Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by

chemical reaction. In this process the minerals within

the rock are changed into particles that can be easily

carried away. Air and water are both involved in many

complex chemical reactions. The minerals in igneous

rocks may be unstable under normal atmospheric condi-

tions, those formed at higher temperatures being morereadily attacked than those which formed at lower tem-

peratures. Igneous rocks are commonly attacked by wa-

ter, particularly acid or alkaline solutions, and all of the

common igneous rock forming minerals (with the ex-

ception of quartz which is very resistant) are changed in

this way into clay minerals and chemicals in solution.

Rock particles in the form of clay, silt, sand, and

gravel, are transported by the agents of erosion (usually

water, and less frequently by ice and wind) to new loca-

tions and redeposited in layers, generally at a lower

elevation.

These agents reduce the size of the particles, sort

them by size, and then deposit them in new locations.

The sediments dropped by streams and rivers form allu-

vial fans, flood plains, deltas, and on the bottom of lakes

and the sea floor. The wind may move large amounts of

sand and other smaller particles. Glaciers transport and

deposit great quantities of usually unsorted rock materi-

al astill.

These deposited particles eventually become com-

pacted and cemented together, forming clastic sedi-

mentary rocks. Such rocks contain inert minerals which

are resistant to mechanical and chemical breakdownsuch as quartz, zircon,rutile, andmagnetite. Quartz is

one of the most mechanically and chemically resistant

minerals.

OrganicOrganic sedimentary rocks contain materials generated

by living organisms, and include carbonate minerals cre-

ated by organisms, such as corals, mollusks, and fo-

raminifera, which cover theocean floorwith layers of

calcitewhich can later formlimestone. Other examples

includestromatolites, theflint nodules found inchalk(which is itself a biochemical sedimentary rock, a form

remains of tropical plants and subjected to heat).

ChemicalChemical sedimentary rocks form when minerals in

solutionbecome oversaturated and precipitate. In mar-

ine environments, this is a method for the formation of

limestone. Another common environment in which

chemical sedimentary rocks form is a body of water that

is evaporating. Evaporation decreases the amount of wa-

ter without decreasing the amount of dissolved material.

Therefore, the dissolved material can become

oversaturated and precipitate. Sedimentary rocks from

this process can include the evaporiteminerals halite

(rock salt),sylvite,bariteandgypsum.
