Answer: You just need to match the symbols to the rock type and environment it represents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Igneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized silicate grains.

Limestone is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime. It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of CaCO₃.

Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles and is easily broken into thin, parallel layers.
