This article is aimed at high school/college students,
urging them to consider a career in the sciences, but there
is some useful info that you may be able to extract and
share with your students about what sedimentary geologists
do.
At these sites, experts answer questions
from curious people seeking science answers.
Ask-a-Geologist
Earth scientists from the USGS will answer questions about
rocks, volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains, maps, ground
water, lakes, or rivers, but be sure to check the archive of
