Answer 10

Greywacke

Wacke (“wacky”) is a name for a poorly sorted sandstone, a mixture of grains of sand, silt and clay size. Graywacke is a specific type of wacke.

Graywacke forms in the seas near fast-rising mountains. The streams and rivers from these mountains yield fresh, coarse sediment that doesn’t fully weather into proper surface minerals.
