- Q4Fossil fuels formed over long periods of time after particles in water settled to the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kinds of particles needed to be present in the marine mud in order for fossil fuels to form?Mostly decaying organismsMostly sand and a few small bits of woodMostly lava and a few sedimentary rocksMostly metal minerals60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q5Some students make a model to show one of the first steps in the formation of sedimentary rock. The students pour 2 centimeters of light-colored sand into a clear plastic box. Then they add 1 centimeter of gravel. Finally they pour 2 centimeters of dark-colored sand on top of the gravel. Which characteristic of sedimentary rock does this model best show?Sedimentary rock is made of layers.Sedimentary rock is cemented bits of rock.Sedimentary rock is often limestone.Sedimentary rock is common in Texas.60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
