metamorphic sedimentary intrusive igneous extrusive igneous
I gave my students this multiple choice question: The Great Basin in Nevada is characterized by uplifted, tilted blocks forming mountain ranges and downthrown blocks forming basins. What rock type is MOST likely to form in the basins?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- metamorphic
- sedimentary
- intrusive igneous
- extrusive igneous

Could you tell me which one is correct?

sedimentary
