Kinds of sedimentary rocks

Answer 1

There are three types of sedimentary rocks:

1. Clastic - rocks formed from sediment accumulated by mechanical weathering (breccia, sandstone and shale)
2. Chemical - rocks formed from dissolved materials settling out of solution (some limestones or rock salt)
3. Organic - rocks formed from sediment formed of plant and animal debris (coal and some limestones)

Answer 2

Sedimentary rocks are formed when Sediment is deposited from win ice air or even flowing water. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock to loose materials in a source area. The materials then taken from the source to the deposition area.

There are many types of sedimedimentary rocks but here's a few, Basalt, Shale, Chert, Akrose, Limestone, Sandstone, Conglomerate, Granite, Basalt, Rock Salt, Siltstone, Coal, Iron Ore, Alabaster, Natural Asphalt, Gray Wacke or Wacke, Coquina, Dolostone, Peat, Gypsum, & Travertine. There are many more sedimentary than these 22 that I have typed.

I hope that helped!

Answer 3

A sedimentary rock, as suggested by it's name, is sediment. A sedimentary rock is made when sediment, bits of gravel, pebbles and such, are settled, usually at the bottom of a river, and eventually compacted by pressure, to form a rock. That's why they usually have layers.

Answer 4

shale, sandstone, limestone, conglomerate and more

Answer 5

sedimentary rocks are made out of sediments
