Shingle Beach

Size of grains

The rock fragments in the photo is deposited by incoming waves. As you can see in the photo the size of the pebbles (see about grain-sizes here) on the beach are roughly equal. Why do you think it’s like that? See about grain distribution here.

Rounding of grains

If you look at the picture below, the pebbles are very well rounded. Why do you think it is? See more about rounding degree here.

Division into types of rocks

Divide  50 pebbles into three groups: Striped (with structures), dotted, and unicolored. Use the description from locality 4 and on a separate page about rocks to decide which main types of rocks they belong to!

Answers to these questions are found here.
