What are detrital rocks formed from?
Detrital sedimentary rocks, also called clastic sedimentary rocks, are composed of rock fragments that have been weathered from pre-existing rocks. They are the most common rocks on the surface of the earth.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
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).
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.
