Sedimentary rocks.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, formed from a specific range of sized particles of other rocks.
Clastic sedimentary rock is formed from the compaction and cementation of particles of other rock. Examples are shale, sandstone, and conglomerate.
Sandstone, conglomerate, and breccia are examples of clastic sedimentary rock, composed of particles of other rocks.
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.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are those that are composed of cemented particles of other rocks. Examples are conglomerate, breccia, sandstone, and shale.
Sedimentary.

Yes. Sandstone is considered as a clastic sedimentary rock because it is formed from small particles of weathered and eroded rocks from various sources.
Clastic sedimentary rock is formed from the compaction and cementation of particles of other rock. Examples are shale, sandstone, and conglomerate.
Clastic or detrital rocks, depending on size.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the fragments of other rocks
Sandstone, conglomerate, and breccia are examples of clastic sedimentary rock, composed of particles of other rocks.
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.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are those that are composed of cemented particles of other rocks. Examples are conglomerate, breccia, sandstone, and shale.
Basalt is an igneous rock and therefore, it does not have a parent rock or protolith. Metamorphic rocks are said to have parent rocks because they form by the deformation of other rocks through heat and pressure.
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.
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks, as are the bulk of sedimentary rocks classified as clastic (shale, sandstone, conglomerate).
