Carbonate rocks are a class of sedimentary rocks composed primarily of carbonate minerals.

Sedimentary rocks dominate the southern half of the island, especially Old and New Red Sandstone.

The land is full of nutrients because of the accumulation of sedimentary mud that created the land initially.

Eventually the sediments were compressed by the weight of the layers above into sedimentary rock.

One small time operation ground up sheet rock and put it in gel caps to sell as medicine.

The benthic zone is the ecological region on, in and immediately above the seabed, including the sediment surface and some sub surface layers.

The sediments in the Gotland Basin are important for studying the climate changes in northern Europe over the past 5,000 years.

It s as if we reacted to Fukushima by better handling gas emissions in oil shale projects.

Part of the sedimentary rock deposited in these areas consists of coral reefs that formed close to the surface of seas during the Paleozoic Era.

When the organism dies, its shell is deposited on the shallow sea floor and buried over time to create the limestone sedimentary rock of the lithosphere.

Sediment dating in the largest of these (Halvikshulen in Osen, 340 m long) shows that it was formed over a period of at least a million years.

Nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 m) of sedimentary strata are found in the Capitol Reef area, representing nearly 200 million years of geologic history of the south central part of the U.S. state of Utah.

Erosion accelerates as the mountains rise, and great volumes of sediment are shed into the rivers, which carry sediment away from the mountains to be deposited in sedimentary basins in the surrounding lowlands.
