Coquina is a rock made of small pieces of broken shells. Ocean waves break seashells into smaller pieces. Over time, these pieces are moved and deposited. When they stick together, they form coquina. Coquina is most likely a(n) ________. A igneous

Respuesta :

Answer:

Sedimentary rock

Explanation:

Coquina is a type of sedimentary rock that is comprised of shells or broken fragments of shells. These shells are made of calcite or phosphate. They are mostly found in the coastal areas, as the sediments and the shells are continuously affected by the sea waves, and are responsible for the weathering, erosion, and deposition of these sediments.

These sediments when deposits over one another over a specific period of time, give rise to the formation of this limestone rock named Coquina.
