Is compaction a step in the rock cycle of a sedimentary rock?
Compaction is a step in the creation of detrital sedimentary rock, those formed from the lithification of sediments.

What is a type of detrital sedimentary rock?
Detrital rocks are sedimentary rocks that are composed of particles of weathered and eroded igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks that have been deposited, compacted, and cemented together. Sandstone, conglomerate, shale, and breccia are examples of detrital sedimentary rocks.
Sandstone is what type of sedimentary rock?
detrital
Is shale detrital chemical or organic rock?

What type of sedimentary rock is made from broken rock fragments?
Detrital
What type of sedimentary rock forms when particles of mineral and rocks are cemented together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What kind of rock has layers and is made from small grain?
That is correct. A detrital (or "clastic") sedimentary rock is formed by sediment grains that have been weathered and eroded by existing rocks and then deposited as layers.
Although not a rock... a material similar to detrital sedimentary rocks is WHAT?
Concrete!
