Question 5 1 pts which of the following might be considered sediment? an outcrop of sandstone quartz crystals in an outcrop of granite fossil shells in bedrock shell fragments washed up on a beach

Option (2)

Explanation:

Sediments are considered to be the rock materials and particles that are formed due to the weathering and erosion of rocks. These sediments ranges in size from fine grained to coarse grained. They are transported by the agents such as wind, water and ice. These sediments are carried either by rolling, sliding, saltation or suspension method.

For example, a quartz crystal is an example of sediment, that can be broken down mechanically from a rock body and transported to an outcrop of granitic rocks.

These sediments later with due coarse of time, due to compaction and lithification forms sedimentary rocks.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
