READING HISTORY
THROUGH LAYERS OF
SEDIMENT
How the earth tells a story
What are Sedimentary Rocks?
Remember the 3
types of rocks?...
 Metamorphic
 Igneous
 Sedimentary
Eroded
debris is
transported
by rivers
and
deposited
as new
layers of
sedimentary
rock.
A series of
sedimentary
rock layers
may be
thousands
Reading Sedimentary Deposits
To interpret the sedimentary record
correctly, we must first understand
something about modern sedimentary
systems.
1) the sources of sediment
2) transportation pathways
3) places where sediment is
accumulating today, such as deltas,
beaches, and rivers.
The Earths Story
Reading the Story
From the composition of
sediment (what it is
made up of) we can read
exactly what happened
on earth at that time.
This can include:
- Animals
- Temperate Change
- Natural Disasters
- People
Lets have a look at the
Grand Canyon is USA.
Slide Show Tips
HOMEWORK
Draw and
Label a
diagram
showing how
sediment
layers form.
