How would you describe a sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in three main ways-by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as clastic sedimentary rocks); by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution. Sedimentary rocks include common types such as chalk, limestone, sandstone, and shale. :)

How are rocks classified into one of these three groups?

Rocks are classified into three groups based on how they are formed. Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and crystallizes. Sedimentary rock is formed when the products of weathering and erosion are compacted and cemented to form new rock. Metamorphic rock is formed when existing rock is changed by heat, pressure or chemical change into a new kind of rock.
