Sedimentary rocks like chalk and clay were formed under the sea and later uplifted. Chalk is found in bands that form large layered deposits in southern and eastern UK, appearing as the White Cliffs of Dover. Clay is a common rock found everywhere that forms low flat vales due to being impermeable with tiny pores that become waterlogged.

2. Both sedimentary rocks
Formed under the sea and uplifted by
tectonic activity
Chalk – in south and east UK, looks like
bands as it forms layers that cover large
areas
Clay – common rock found everywah

3. Chalk Clay
Physically tough, but not like granite Weak
Heavily jointed and porous Tiny pores which become
waterlogged.
Permeable, lack of rivers and lack of
erosion
Impermeable
Pure limestone CaCO3
Vulnerable to carbonation, freeze-
thaw.
Forms excarpment – dip slope, scarp
slope, dry valley...
E.g. White cliffs of Dover, South
Downs
Forms low flat ground called vales.
