evaporation and precipitation.
Yes, sedimentary rocks can form through chemical processes. One example is the precipitation of minerals from solution, which occurs when dissolved ions in water bond together to form solid minerals. Another example is chemical weathering, where minerals in rocks are dissolved or altered by chemical reactions, leading to the formation of new minerals.
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
Chemical sedimentary rocks form from solutions (water with something in it).
Chemical
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
Biochemical sedimentary rocks.

Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks. They are different because organic rocks are composed of the remains of living things but chemical rocks are formed by inorganic processes such as evaporation.
mechanical , chemical and organic
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.

They must undergo deposition then have heat and pressure applied. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the actions of chemical or mechanical processes.
Sedimentary rocks form from a few different things. Sedimentary rocks form from sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind and gravity.
No, sedimentary rocks are deposited and undergo lithofication over time. Igneous rocks cool and crystallize
