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

Some types of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale. Sandstone is formed from grains of sand cemented together, limestone is composed of calcium carbonate from marine organisms, and shale is made up of clay minerals compacted over time.

Answer 5

shale, sandstone, limestone, conglomerate and more

Answer 6

sedimentary rocks are made out of sediments
