Non-clastic rocks are formed from the chemical precipitate out of a solution and occur chiefly in the oceans. They are not formed from other rocks or rock particles.
Non-clastic means not formed from other rocks or rock particles.Non-clastic or chemical rock, is composed of chemical precipitate out of solution.Clastic rock is formed from particles of other rock.
Clastic rocks are composed of broken pieces of older rocks that have been broken up by the process of weathering and are therefore sedimentary in nature. The "clasts" (bits of older rock) may vary in size.
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).
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.
Clastic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of mineral and rock fragments that are cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks: Formed from precipitation of minerals dissolved in water. Organic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of organic material, such as plants or animals.
Non-clastic means not formed from other rocks or rock particles.Non-clastic or chemical rock, is composed of chemical precipitate out of solution.Clastic rock is formed from particles of other rock.
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.

Most non-clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of minerals that have precipitated from water, such as limestone, which is composed of calcite. Other non-clastic sedimentary rocks include organic-rich rocks like coal and chert, a silica-rich rock formed from the remains of marine organisms.
Clastic: These rocks are composed predominantly of broken pieces of older weathered and eroded rocks Non-clastic/ Organic: A sedimentary rock composed of the remains of plants and animals.
Fragments of preexisting rocks.

They are all Sedimentary
Clastic Sedimentary Rocks.
Clastic and organic sedimentary rocks like conglomerate, coal, some limestones, and shale, are formed under pressure from overlying sediments.
