a rock sequence formed from the sediment layers described above. put the following rocks in order to show what this rock sequence probably looked like.
younger
shale
conglomerate
sandstone
Sedimentary rocks form in layers with older layers at the bottom. The first deposit (glacier edge) includes boulders, which form conglomerate. Next, lake mud forms shale. Finally, desert wind-blown sand forms sandstone, the youngest layer.
