Is shale detrital chemical or organic rock?
Detrital, this is coming from my Geology textbook.
What are the two main types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic (those formed of particles of other rocks) and non-clastic (organic and chemical precipitate or evaporite rocks).
Sedimentary rocks are usually classified as?
Clastic-made of mineral grains compacted and cemented together rather than metamorphic and igneous rocks which have a crystalline structure of interlocking crystals.
What are detrital sedimentary rocks?
They are rocks formed from pieces of pre-existing rocks or organic debris.
What metamorphic rock is formed from greywacke?
Hornfels or gneiss are possible metamorphic rock with a greywacke protolith.
What are three ways rocks are classified?
Detrital, Chemical, and Organic.

In what ways are detrital rocks organic rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks the same?

How are detrital chemical and biochemical sedimentary rocks different?
Detrital rocks are composed of rock particles, chemical sedimentary rocks are composed of precipitated minerals.Examples:Detrital or clastic rocks:ConglomerateBrecciaSandstoneShaleChemical sedimentary rocks:Rock saltSome limestonesRock gypsumWhat_is_the_difference_between_detrital_and_chemical_sedimentary_rock

How are detrital chemical and organic sedimentary rocks different from each other?
yo mamma is so stupid she got hit by a parked car
What is the difference between detrital and chemical rocks?
Detrital- made of sediment grains Orgains- Made of fossils Chemical- from due to chemical reactions I hope this helped you enough :)

What are detrital rocks?
They are rocks formed from pieces of pre-existing rocks or organic debris.
Is limestone an example of a detrital sedimentary rock?
It can be. Some limestone is formed from the precipitation of calcite from saturated solutions, and is considered a chemical sedimentary rock. Other limestone that consists largely of the skeletal remains of marine organisms is considered bio-clastic, a cross between an organic and a detrital sedimentary rock. Typical detrital sedimentary rocks are those composed mostly of particles of pre-existing rock, although organic matter may be included; examples would be sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
