How are sedimentary rocks mader?

There are different ways sedimentary rocks are formed. Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken pieces and particles of other rocks, [which is a reason why the name was given to these types of rocks (sediment)] and these bits get cemented together. These types of sedimentary rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks are another type that comprise of mineral crystals, like gypsum and halite.
