Clastic: These rocks are composed predominantly of broken pieces of older weathered and eroded rocks

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).
How do geologist classify 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.
What are the three categories of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic Rocks, Organic Rocks, and Chemical Rock
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).
What makes a clastic rock different from a bioclastic rock?
A Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. A Bioclastic rock is a clastic rock but the fragments are not of preexisting rock but of organic shell and or bone fragments.
How are clastic non clastic and organic sedimentary rocks the same?

Is gneiss clastic organic or chemical?

Is conglomerate clastic organic or chemical rock?
Conglomerate is a clastic rock. They are coarse-grained sedimentary rocks.
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 when sediments are compacted by extreme pressure?
Clastic and organic sedimentary rocks like conglomerate, coal, some limestones, and shale, are formed under pressure from overlying sediments.
What are the three major group of sedimentary rocks?
Organic, Chemical and clastic.
