according to composition i.e. mineral grains, fossils, animal/plant matter, chemical composition etc. and grain size (gravel, sand, silt, clay)
for example sandstone is made up of mainly rock fragments or mineral grains (quartz, feldspar, clay) weathered form other rocks and has grains that are 1/16-2mm large.
