  1. Pupil A What percentage of the Earth’s surface is composed of sedimentary rocks?

  2. Pupil B Name the three common types of cement that are found in sedimentary rocks

  3. Pupil C Name a coarse grained sedimentary rock that is poorly sorted and has angular grains

  4. Pupil D Name a sedimentary rock that is made up of spherical grains of calcium carbonate

  5. Pupil E Name the two components that make up the rock black shale

  6. Pupil F Name a sedimentary structure that can be used to work out palaeo-current directions

  7. Pupil G Name a sedimentary rock that is poorly sorted, has sub angular grains and up to 40% clay matrix

  8. Pupil H Explain the difference between bedding planes and laminations

  9. Pupil I Name a sedimentary rock that is poorly sorted, coarse grained and has well rounded grains
