Does pieces of small rocks form beaches?
Yes. Sand is made up of broken up rocks and minerals. I am sure there is more to the composition, but rocks do help make up the beach with the help of the ocean, of course. :)
How do clastic rocks differ from non clastic rocks in terms of process of formation?
Clastic rocks are composed of broken pieces of older rocks that have been broken up by the process of weathering and are therefore sedimentary in nature. The "clasts" (bits of older rock) may vary in size.
What rocks are formed from broken rocks?
Rocks formed from broken rocks are known as sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic material. Common examples of sedimentary rocks formed from broken rocks include sandstone, conglomerate, and shale.
Deposition ?
Ice water and wind help out or broken rocks and building up the earth by dropping them
Why sedimentary rocks are found as a veneer covering large areas of continental igneous rock?
Sedimentary rocks are the result of broken down igneous rocks so they cover up most of igneous rocks.
