Answer 2

ANSWER:

If limestone is found in a sedimentary rock, the temperature of the environment at the time it formed can be determined about the sediment layer.

EXPLANATION:

• These rocks are formed by the particles getting into the surface also known as sediment is collected from the surrounding things such as air, ice, wind gravity.

• It is a fact that mostly the surface of the earth is covered with sedimentary rocks but has a small portion of earth crust.
