Question 2:
Broken pieces of rock would have drifted down a river, eventually the broken pieces of rock would have settled at the bottom of the water and become deposited, the deposited rocks form layers, the weight from the pieces of rock squashes the bottom layers of sediments and the water between the rocks are squeezed out, Crystals and different salts start to form which causes a type of glue- this is called cementation, eventually a sedimentary rock is formed, however this may take Millions of years.

Did you know Australia use to be a big prison? Australia is the 6th largest continent. Australia is the only continent covered by a single country. In Australia there are more kangaroo’s than people. A person in Australia hasn’t died from a spider bite since 1987. The top ten deadliest snakes live in Australia. There are over 200 different languages which are spoken in Australia. This includes 45 languages, as well non-English languages like Greek, Italian, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Mandarin, and Arabic. A desert area known as the outback covers much of the land.
As the minerals of the rock slowly cooled, as they separated into layers according to their densities. The lighter ones floated to the top above the heavier ones. The shield is mostly thin soil lying on the top of bedrock. This was caused during the last ice age, when glaciers covered the area and scraped the rock clean as they moved. In Depth.
Convection currents may bring magma to the surface at diverging boundaries. Sedimentary rocks from the ocean floor gets pushed down to the mantle at convergent boundaries. The crust soon melts and rises to the surface creating igneous rock. Typically mountain ranges are metamorphic rock, maybe our mountains are.

which is a part of the City of Yarra. North Fitzroy is located along the banks of the Merri Creek, which was a significant spiritual place for the Indigenous people of Australia. Before the European settlers arrived in this particular area, the banks of the Yarra River and Merri Creek were the home of the Wurundjeri Tribe. The Wurundjeri Tribe were divided into different clans such as the Wurundjeri-Willam clan and the Wurundjeri-Balluk clan, and each clan was lead by a Ngurunggata (pronounced na-rung-getta) which means head clan-man.

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It lies in the Southern Hemisphere between 11° and 44° south latitude and 113° and 154° east longitude. The entire area of land is about the same size as the continental United States, or about one and a half times the size of Europe. The mainland of Australia has an area of 2,967,909 square miles. The country is divided into six states: Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia.
The Katherine Gorge is located in the Northern Territory, 244km southeast of Darwin. The area of the Katherine Gorge is 2.947km2 and the latitude and longitude coordinates are 14.0873° S, 132.4971° E.
These natives formed approximately 500 tribes, each associated with its own language and stretch of territory. Although the sizes of the tribes varied, they had much in common. The Aborigines were not natural cultivators of the land - fertile land was obviously scarce - and Australia (before the European colonisation) had no animals suitable for
According to the Dunham Classification, which is a produced classification of carbonate rocks, coquina falls under grain-supported and lacks mud. Everything that keeps the rock held together is mostly the shells themselves. Every rock has specific mineral properties that

completely undifferentiated, but it is too large to have separated completely into a rock core,
Depending on what the sedimentary rock is formed by, determines whether is known as clastic or chemical. Clastic rocks are composed of particles from weathering. They are then sorted by grain size, gravel being the largest and clay being the smallest. A few examples would be sandstones and shales. Chemical sedimentary rocks are biochemical, and contain ions in the solution from weathering. These are also further classified. First you have limestone, which can be either organic or inorganic. An example would be fossiliferous or chalk. Next is dolostone, and it is formed from dolomite. Chert is next; and can be organic or inorganic also. Flint and jasper are some examples of chert. Rock salt and gypsum are what are known as evaporites. These form from the evaporation of saline waters in an arid environment. Finally there is coal, which is organic and forms from buried plant remains and carbon. There is one more type of rock that is classified the same way as the previous two.
