Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The sand which makes up the “sandstone” found in “New York” state was originally deposited in “horizontal layers". Explanation: The sandstones found in New York were majorly formed due to the deposition of sand by the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mostly of quartz sand, but it can also contain significant amounts of feldspar, and sometimes silt and clay. Sandstone that contains more than 90% quartz is called quartzose sandstone. When the sandstone contains more than 25% feldspar, it is called arkose or arkosic sandstone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sandstone, a sedimentary rock, is formed when grains of sand are compacted and cemented together over thousands or millions of years. The sand grains often are composed of the minerals quartz or feldspar that were worn off other rocks and ground down into pebbles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sandstone is a very common mineral and can be found all over the world. There are large deposits found in the United States, South Africa (where eight different varieties of the stone can be found), and Germany holds the most locations of sandstone deposits in the world.
