Clay particles are generally thought of as the smallest classification of weathered rock particle, roughly 7 times smaller than red blood cells. Clays can be found at the end of the sediment deposition trip, at the bottom of lakes and marine environments.

How are sediementary rocks made?
Sedimentory rocks form in several stages, which are: weathering, errosion, sedimentation, cementation and at the end lithification.
What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
