What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
What is the most common non-clastic sedimentary rock?
Type your answer here... Limestone
Is conglomerate clastic organic or chemical rock?
Conglomerate is a clastic rock. They are coarse-grained sedimentary rocks.
Is schist a clastic sedimentary rock?
No, it is a metamorphic rock.
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 does non-clastic mean?
Non-clastic means not formed from other rocks or rock particles.Non-clastic or chemical rock, is composed of chemical precipitate out of solution.Clastic rock is formed from particles of other rock.

How do geologist classify sedimentary rocks?
They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.
What are the three categories of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic Rocks, Organic Rocks, and Chemical Rock
Is coal clastic or non-clastic?

How are non clastic rocks formed?
Non-clastic rocks are formed from the chemical precipitate out of a solution and occur chiefly in the oceans. They are not formed from other rocks or rock particles.

Is graphite non-foliated or foliated?
Graphite is a foliated metamorphic rock originating from Bituminous Coal.
What is the definition of nonclastic?
Non-clastic is defined as a sedimentary rock that has a crystalline material. Non-clastic rocks are chemical sedimentary rocks made from biological activities including excretion and respiration.
