Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conglomerate is a rock type that is made up of large, rounded clasts that were transported and deposited by high-energy environments such as turbulent streams, rivers, or ocean currents. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms in low-energy environments such as still lakes or quiet river deltas. Chert is a hard, dense rock made of silica that can form in a variety of environments including deep ocean floors and hot springs, but is not necessarily associated with high-energy environments.
