Is shale considered an organic rock?
No i believe that Shale is considered a Clastic rock because it is made up of small pieces of other broken rocks.
What are the other colors besides pink and purple during advent?
I
Can rock be made of other rock?
Sedimentary rocks are rocks made out of sediment, which is often other rocks ground down to powder. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary rocks that have been changed (partially melted and hardened) by being exposed to extreme heat and pressure. So, yes.
Besides Jupiter what other planet is made out of gas?
The planet Saturn.
Did differentiation occur in other inner planets besides Earth?
Yes.
What are the two main types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic (those formed of particles of other rocks) and non-clastic (organic and chemical precipitate or evaporite rocks).
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
What are the subtypes of sedimentary rocks?
Chemical: Minerals were dissolved in water to form it. Organic: Formed from the remains of living things. Clastic: Formed form bits of other rocks.
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called?
A clastic sedimentary rock.
Most non clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of what?
other sedimentary rocks.
Difference between clastic rocks and non-clastic rocks?
Clastic rocks are sedimentary rocks consisting of bits and pieces of other rocks created by physical/mechanical weathering. Non-clastic are also sedimentary rocks; however are absent bits and pieces of other rocks and are formed through chemical processes (e.g. hydrolysis, evaporation, precipitation, oxidation) or form out of organic material (e.g. coal, chalk).
How are clastic sedimentary rocks divided?
Clastic (or detrital): Sedimentary rock formed from particles of other sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock which has been weathered, eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented. Examples of clastic sedimentary rock include shale, sandstone, mudstone, and conglomerate.Chemical: Chemical sedimentary rocks have intergrown mineral crystals that are precipitated from saturated aqueous solutions and chemical residues. The precipitated minerals that are commonly included are halite, quartz, limonite, calcite, chert, dolomite, hematite, and gypsum; consequently, common chemical rocks are limestone, chert, and rock gypsum.Organic:Organic sedimentary rock is rock that is derived or generated from sediments that are produced by organisms. Coal and chalk are examples of organic sedimentary rock.
What is the definition of clastic sedimentary rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are those that are composed of cemented particles of other rocks. Examples are conglomerate, breccia, sandstone, and shale.
What type of rock is formed from particles or dissolved minerals from previously existing rocks?
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
How are organic rocks and chemical rocks similar?
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks, as are the bulk of sedimentary rocks classified as clastic (shale, sandstone, conglomerate).
Why is sandstone an example of sedimentary rock?
Yes. Sandstone is considered as a clastic sedimentary rock because it is formed from small particles of weathered and eroded rocks from various sources.
