Question

fill out the following chart based on the grand canyon rocks.
name of rock\ttype of rock\tsediment its made of
kaibab\tlimestone\tbio chemical
hermit\tshale\tmud and clay
coconino\tsandstone\tsand
red wall\tlimestone\tbio chemical
\tsandstone\t
supai group\tmixed (shale/sandstone)\tmud and sand
mauv\tlimestone\tbio chemical

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Grand Canyon Rock Info

Kaibab Limestone: Formed from biological/chemical sediments (marine organisms, calcite). Hermit Shale: Made of mud/clay sediments. Coconino Sandstone: Sand (quartz grains) sediment. Redwall Limestone: Biological/chemical (marine life, calcite). Supai Group: Mixed (shale, sandstone, limestone) with mud/sand/calcite. Mauv (Muav) Limestone: Biological/chemical. Sandstone layer (e.g., Tapeats?): Sand sediment.

Step2: Fill Chart Correctly

• Kaibab: Sediment - Biological/chemical (marine fossils, calcite)
• Hermit: Type - Shale; Sediment - Mud/Clay
• Coconino: Type - Sandstone; Sediment - Sand (quartz)
• Redwall: Type - Limestone; Sediment - Biological/chemical
• Sandstone (e.g., Tapeats): Name - Tapeats; Sediment - Sand
• Supai Group: Type - Mixed (Shale, Sandstone, Limestone); Sediment - Mud, Sand, Calcite
• Mauv (Muav): Type - Limestone; Sediment - Biological/chemical

Answer:

Name of Rock	Type of Rock	Sediment It’s Made Of
Hermit	Shale	Mud/Clay
Coconino	Sandstone	Sand (Quartz Grains)
Redwall	Limestone	Biological/Chemical
Tapeats (Sandstone)	Sandstone	Sand
Supai Group	Mixed (Shale, Sandstone, Limestone)	Mud, Sand, Calcite
Muav (Mauv)	Limestone	Biological/Chemical
