Description:

This text covers the processes that form sedimentary rocks and describes the important physical, chemical, biological and stratigraphic characteristics of these rocks. It explores the ways in which the study of sedimentary rocks is used to interpret depositional environments, changes in ancient sea level and other aspects of earth history.
