Overview

This course covers the composition, texture, and classification of sedimentary rocks. By the end of the course, learners will be able to identify and differentiate between clastic, chemical, and biogenic sedimentary rocks. They will also understand the formation processes of sedimentary rocks and how to classify them based on grain size, composition, and texture. The course teaches about sedimentary structures, intrabasinal vs extrabasinal rocks, porosity, permeability, and the effects of diagenesis on sedimentary rocks. The intended audience for this course includes geology enthusiasts, students, and professionals looking to deepen their understanding of sedimentary rocks. The teaching method involves a 24-minute video lecture outlining the key concepts and characteristics of sedimentary rocks.
