What kind of sandstone in terms of maturity, texture, and rock name(s), would be formed from sediments deposited on the landward side of the subduction trench in Model 1 (orogenic setting)? (Use Figures 5.1, \( 5.3 \) and Table \( 1.1 \) in your lab manual to help you answer this question) Quartz sandstone Graywacke light gray sandstone Arkose Figure \( 5.1 \) Model Tectonic Settings. Model 1 Generalized view of an active margin, where an oceanic plate is being subducted beneath a continental plate. Characterized by rapid uplift in the source region and rapid sedimentation (usually texturally and compositionally immaturel and subsidence in the depositional area. Note the small continental shelf area, steep continental slope, and trench. Model 2 Generalized view of a passive margin (also called a trailing margin). The source area generally has lower relief or is farther from the depositional area. This results in a range of compositional and textural maturities of the sediments being deposited. Deep-water sedimentation is mainly pelagic and/or fine silt/clay-size sediments. Note the wider continental shelf area and the lack of a trench. Scale for both models: length of base approximately \( 200 \mathrm{~km} \), vertical scale exaggerated.
