Question

6. Challenge: Based on the weathering patterns, guess the rock type shown in each photo. (Can anyone confirm or deny these answers?)

Answer 1

Answer:

A. = Shale

B = Granite

C = Sandstone

D = Limestone

Explanation:

Based on the weathering patterns, the rock type shown in each photo can be concluded to be as

A. = Shale: this is a form.of sedimentary rocks. It is formed from finely textured materials. Such as clay, quartz, and calcite minerals

B = Granite: this is derived from igneous rock. It has coarse texture features.

C = Sandstone: it is formed by a sand-sized grain of natural earth materials that form together

D = Limestone: it is also a form of sedimentary rock. It contains a large quantity of calcium carbonate it is formed from materials such as ancient corals and skeleton.

Answer 2

Weathering is the process of removal and breaking down of the rocks into soils and minerals and is four types such as physical, chemical, and biological. The weather is both an internal and external process.

• Based on the images given, A represents shale, B is granite C is sandstone and D is limestone. The shale is a fine-grained clastic sedimentary rock and is ford by mud. Granite is a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock.

• Sandstone is made from sand-sized silicate grains. While limestone is made from calcium calcite that is carbonate sedimentary rock. Hence confirmed.
