Why do clastic rocks generally form underwater?
Sedimentary rock most often forms in the ocean through these processes:1. Deposition of sediments such as mud, clay, sand, sea life secretions and marine life skeletons on the seafloor.2. Compaction of these deposited sediments by the weight of continuing depositions of sediments. The crushing weight of further overlying sediments squeezes out the water that exists between sediment particles.3. Cementation occurs when minerals form between sediment particles. The minerals are formed through a process called "precipitation". When the particles are cemented together in this manner, the resultant solid is a clastic sedimentary rock.
