Sedimentary rock is so named because it is formed from sediments. The sediments could be particles of rock, sand, minerals, or organic material.
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the precipitation from, or evaporation of, water that is saturated with dissolved minerals. In addition, most clastic sedimentary rocks are also formed from the cementing together of sediment particles by the precipitation of minerals from water.
The sedimentary rock formed from minerals precipitating from a solution is called chemical sedimentary rock. It is formed through processes such as evaporation or chemical reactions, without the involvement of organic material or clastic particles.
The chemical sedimentary rock will not be composed of cemented rock particles.
Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone, shale, and limestone, are formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments. These processes involve the pressure from overlying layers compacting sediments together, and minerals precipitating between particles to bind them into a solid rock.
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the compaction and cementation of particles such as sand, silt, and clay. These particles are deposited in layers over time, and the pressure from the weight of the overlying material squeezes them together and binds them with minerals forming sedimentary rocks.
