One of the primary areas in the Earth science curriculum is learning about the rocks that make up Earth's crust. However, remembering each type and how it forms may be a challenge for some. This volume presents readers with a simple but full overview of the formation of sedimentary rock. Full-color photographs display common types of sedimentary rock, including sandstone, shale, and breccia, and the text includes explanations of key terms such as sediment and stratification.
