Clastic sedimentary rocks are those that are composed of cemented particles of other rocks. Examples are conglomerate, breccia, sandstone, and shale.
== == Clastic sedimentary rocks.
They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.
Clastic Rocks, Organic Rocks, and Chemical Rock
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
No. Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
== == Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Non-clastic is defined as a sedimentary rock that has a crystalline material. Non-clastic rocks are chemical sedimentary rocks made from biological activities including excretion and respiration.
They are all Sedimentary

the most common minerals in clastic sedimentary rocks are likely
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of broken pieces of preexisting rock that are compacted together. The mineral quartz makes up sixty percent of the clastic sedimentary rocks.
Shale, sandstone, and conglomerate are examples of clastic sedimentary rock.
Clastic (those formed of particles of other rocks) and non-clastic (organic and chemical precipitate or evaporite rocks).
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.

They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
