Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

____ rock is generally unconsolidated and composed of rock fragments that have been transported and deposited by wind, water, or glaciers. Limestone, sandstone, and shale are examples

A	metamorphic
B	igneous
C	bedrock
D	sedimentary

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Sedimentary Rock. An example of a sedimentary rock, which is, by definition, composed of many, smaller rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth’s surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mudstone or Shale. The process of converting unconsolidated sediment into consolidated sedimentary rock is known as diagenesis or alternatively lithification. This process involves compaction and squeezing as the sediments become buried. Typical muds, for example contain approximately 50-60% water by volume.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sedimentary rocks are formed from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth’s surface. If sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
