6/14/2023 0 Comments Sandstone depositional environment![]() Sandstone have the moderate grain size, not too rough like pebble, granule, cobble or boulder but not too fine like silt or clay. The size that is called sand can be very rough until the smallest one is very fine. The sandstone is meaning sedimentary rocks which have the size rate between 1/16 until 2 mm. The rough materials will proceed to be smaller and smoother materials depend on how far it transported. The reworking process is being continuously to provide the sediment materials which transported until each sedimentary basin. The sandstone composed of sediment materials from others process such as weathering and erosion of any other rocks. Sedimentary rock is rock that formed by diagenesis of other rock that has been sedimented. From the heights until the deep ocean, we still found the sandstone layers in each portion. Between 20% until 25% is the rate of sandstone distribution in each earth layer. Sandstone is one of sedimentary rocks which have a large distribution in whole a part of the earth.
