Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
Clastic Sedimentary Rock- Sedimnetary rocks formed from fragments of rocks cemented together by minerals such as calcite.Chemical Sedimentary Rock- Sedimentary rocks formed from a solution of minerals (such as halite) and water.Organice Sedimentary Rocks- Sedimentary Rocks formed from the remaints of dead sea animals and seashells.
The three types of rocks you can find in the Rocky Mountains are sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediment, such as sandstone and limestone. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava, such as granite and basalt. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rocks due to high temperatures and pressures, such as gneiss and schist.

Organic Sedimentary Rocks are formed from remains of plants and animals.
Clastic sedimentary rocks and Cataclasites (a form of metamorphic rock) are formed from broken rocks.
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.

Clastic and nonclastic
Chemically formed sedimentary rocks are formed from dead remains of plants and animals that is from an organic sediment.
