clastic, chemical, and organic

1. Organic Sedimentary Rock - Coal.
2. Chemical Sedimentary Rock - Gypsum.
3. Mechanical/Detrital Sedimentary Rock - Sandstone

What are different types of sedimentary rock?
Coal and Sandstone are two types of sedimentary rocks.
WHAT ARE two types of sedimentary rocks and describe what they are made from?
residual deposits and sedimentary deposits
Are there 2 facts about sedimentary rocks?
The two main features of sedimentary rocks are: They are formed into strata or layers. They consist of many palaentological evidences like fossils and coal.
What two types of rocks make up the lithosphere?
There are actually three - metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary
How many different types of sedimentary rocks are there?
There are many different types of sedimentary rocks. The three main types are chemical, biochemical and clastic rock. Some that fall into these three categories include sandstone, shale, limestone, gypsum, chert, coal, and amber.

Which two types of rock can form on the Earth's surface?
Some types of igneous and sedimentary rocks can form on Earth's surface.

What are two examples of sedimentary rocks?
Limestone or Sandstone are two examples of sedimentary rocks. Two examples of sedimentary rocks are slate (fine silt) and chalk (shell remains of sea creatures).
What type of rocks make up the earths crust?
The crust is composed of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
What the types of rocks?
There are three main types of rocks found on earth and they are; Igneous: are intrusive rocks that have come up from with the mantle or the earths crust. For instance a granite is an intrusive or extrusive rock that was either erupted (extrusive) from a volcano or but brought up in a magma chamber (intrusive), whilst a basalt is a lava flow and is volcanic. Sedimentary: is rock made from sediment being deposited over millions of years and then hardened under pressure, temperature and diagenesis. A sandstone or a mudstone are the best examples of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are divided in to two different groups siliciclastic rocks and carbonate rocks. Metamorphic: are any of the two previous rock types that have had either there physical or chemical structure changed due to pressure or temperature. An example of this is for sedimentary rock a sandstone is metamorphosed into a quartzite and for igneous rocks a granite is metamorphosed into a gneiss.
What are sedimentary rocks shaped like?
No two sedimentary rocks are shaped the same, there are many different shapes
