Weathering decomposes bedrock. Flowing water, wind, gravity, and glaciers then erode the decomposed rock, transport it downslope, and finally deposit it on the sea coast or in lakes and river valleys. Finally, the loose sediment is cemented to form hard sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks make up only about 5 percent of the Earth’s crust. However, because they form on the Earth’s surface, they are widely spread in a thin veneer over underlying igneous and metamorphic rocks. As a result, sedimentary rocks cover about 75 percent of continents. Many sedimentary rocks have high economic value. Oil and gas form in certain sedimentary rocks. Coal, a major energy resource, is a sedimentary rock. Limestone is an important building material, both as stone and as the primary ingredient in cement. Gypsum is the raw material for plaster. Ores of copper, lead, zinc, iron, gold, and silver concentrate in certain types of sedimentary rocks.
Are the following statements true or false?
Sedimentary rocks cover a small portion of continents.
Sedimentary rocks make up a small portion of the Earth’s crust.
Surface agents erode the decomposed rock and deposit it on the ocean floor.
Sedimentary rocks are widely spread over igneous and metamorphic rocks because they are formed in the Earth’s interior.
