Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the sediment types

The given sediments are Gravel, Sand, Silt, and Clay and Silt.

Step 2: Determine the corresponding sedimentary rocks
  • Gravel lithifies to form Conglomerate.
  • Sand lithifies to form Sandstone.
  • Silt lithifies to form Siltstone.
  • Clay and Silt lithify to form Shale.
Step 3: Match the sediments with their corresponding rocks
  • Gravel -> Conglomerate
  • Sand -> Sandstone
  • Silt -> Siltstone
  • Clay and Silt -> Shale

Final Answer

  • Gravel: Conglomerate
  • Sand: Sandstone
  • Silt: Siltstone
  • Clay and Silt: Shale
