Detrital rocks CORRECT ANSWER transported sediment as solid particles -Chief constituents of detrital rocks are Quartz, Feldspars, Micas, Clay minerals (the silicate minerals) 'Chemical' rocks CORRECT ANSWER sediment composed of minerals that were once in solution [biochemical is a better name for them, because many are formed from biologic processes] What are sediments? CORRECT ANSWER Sediments are products of mechanical and chemical weathering and deposited on the Earth surface Often...

soil - Answer-the fine material covering the Earth's surface composed of both mineral & organic material; dirt vs. soil - Answer-dirt is soil without the organic material weathering - Answer-provides the raw (parent) materials for soil formation and development The processes by which rocks are chemically altered or physically broken into fragments as a result of exposure to atmospheric agents and the pressures & temperatures at or near the Earth's surface, with little or no transportation ...
