How do clastic rocks differ from non-clastic rocks in terms of process of formation?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
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.

How does metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks differ in their process of formation?
Sedimentory rocks form in several stages, which are: weathering, errosion, sedimentation, cementation and at the end lithification. In case of formation of metamorphic rocks, rock of any origin altered in mineralogical composition, chemical composition, or structure by heat, pressure, and movement. Nearly all such rocks are crystalline.
How does the origin of slaty cleavage differ from the origin of fissility in shale?
Slaty cleavage is a result of stress and strain during the metamorphism process where the minerals that make up the slate become deformed and or re-crystallise with an orientation normal to the principle stress field. The fissile nature of shale is a result of the preferential alignment of clay minerals during the formation of the rock. This is because clay minerals are plate like and so form horizontal layers much like you would get if you stacked playing cards.

In what ways do rocks differ?

How does the process of fermentation differ from the process of respiration?
while respiration implies air, fermentation is an anaerobic (no oxygen) process.
How does budding differ from spore formation?
In budding , a small part of the body of the parent organism grows out as bud which then detaches and becomes a new organism.... While in spore formation the parent plant produces hundreds of microscopic reproductive units caleed spores . When the spore case of the plant burts , then the spores spread into air. and then after the process they germinate and produce new plants.
How does the process of fermentation differ from the process of reparation?
I assume you meant respiration - in which case : fermentation does not require oxygen.
How do growth and development differ?
Growth is the process of becoming larger. Development is the process of becoming more complex.
