"Sedimentary rocks such as limestone can be used for a variety of purposes including highway construction and building stones, and, in the classroom, as chalk. Rocks such as coal and oil shale can be processed for their valuable, energy-containing carbon compounds. Rock gypsum can be ground up and used in a number of ways, including plaster and wall board.
Virtually all buildings and public structures require sedimentary rock in their construction. The cement and the sand and gravel used to make concrete, iron ore for steel, bauxite used in making aluminum, brick and tile, cut stone used for facing large buildings, and even asphalt for the roads which make these buildings accessible.
Early people took advantage of chert to break and used it to fashion cutting tools and weapons.
Rock salt is often mined for use in the chemical industry or for use as a winter highway treatment.
Sand stone is used for construction industry.
Arkose is used for building stone, millstones for grinding corn. " ~opite Yahoo.ca

weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.

Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks.
Clastic sedimentary rocks and Cataclasites (a form of metamorphic rock) are formed from broken rocks.
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.
== == Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Bioclastic sedimentary rocks.
