Consider the following pairs with reference to sedimentary rocks and the process of their formation: 1. Chert — Chemically formed 2. Geyserite — Organically formed 3. Shale — Mechanically formed Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

Options

  1. A1 only
  2. B1 and 2 only
  3. C2 and 3 only
  4. D1, 2 and 3

Correct answer

D. 1, 2 and 3

Step-by-step solution

Sedimentary rocks are classified into three major groups based on their mode of formation: 1. Chemically formed: These rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water. Examples include chert, limestone, halite, and potash. Thus, pair 1 is correctly matched. 2. Organically formed: These rocks are formed from the accumulation of plant and animal debris. Examples include geyserite, chalk, limestone, and coal. Thus, pair 2 is correctly matched. 3. Mechanically formed: These rocks are formed from the mechan
