Some examples of sedimentary rocks formed by chemical precipitation from seawater are limestone, dolomite, and evaporites such as rock salt and gypsum. These rocks form when minerals in seawater precipitate out and accumulate over time to create solid rock formations.
Examples of organic sedimentary rocks include coal, which forms from the accumulation and compaction of plant remains, and limestone, which can contain organic debris such as shells and coral. Organic sedimentary rocks are derived from the remains of living organisms.
Chemical sedimentary rocks form by precipitation of minerals from water. Precipitation is when dissolved materials come out of water. For example: Take a glass of water and pour some salt (halite) into it. The salt will dissolve into the water.
Rock salt, rock gypsum, and some forms of limestone.
Some sedimentary rock is formed this way; chemical sedimentary rock formed from evaporites, like rock salt, and rock gypsum.
Sediment (To form a sedimentary rock)
soem examples of chemical sedimantery rock are limestone, and gypsum.
Some sedimentary rocks are particles and rock fragments that become cemented together. Examples of sedimentary rocks are chalk, sandstone, limestone and shale.
Classic sedimentary rocks are made up a minerals, grains, and rock fragments from older rocks. Some examples of this kind of rock are sandstone, breccia, and shale.
Fragmental sedimentary rocks are formed from rock fragments, such as sand, gravel or clay. These fragments become cemented together because of pressure and other chemical reactions.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat and pressure, it forms metamorphic rock. This process, known as metamorphism, alters the mineral composition, texture, and structure of the original sedimentary rock. Some common examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and slate from shale.

It can be. Some limestone is formed from the precipitation of calcite from saturated solutions, and is considered a chemical sedimentary rock. Other limestone that consists largely of the skeletal remains of marine organisms is considered bio-clastic, a cross between an organic and a detrital sedimentary rock. Typical detrital sedimentary rocks are those composed mostly of particles of pre-existing rock, although organic matter may be included; examples would be sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Chemical sedimentary rock is created by precipitation of minerals out of, or evaporation from, saturated solutions that are high in dissolved minerals. Rock gypsum and rock salt are two examples.
A sedimentary rock is one that is formed by the accumulation of small to large sediment particles and undergoes compaction, cementation or evaporation from a saturated mineral solution. Sedimentary rock is classified as organic, (derived from organisms), clastic (formed from any size particle of pre-existing rock), or non-clastic (also referred to as chemical), where the sedimentary rock is formed from the evaporation of a solution that is saturated with mineral compounds. Examples of organic sedimentary rocks are coal and limestone. Examples of clastic sedimentary rocks are conglomerate and shale. Examples of non-clastic or chemical sedimentary rocks are rock gypsum and rock salt.sedimentary rock is a rock formed when small pieces of rock ,or sedimt together.A sedimentary rock is one made up of particles of minerals that have settled out of water or wind in layers that have been subsequently lithified. Think of mud settling at the bottom of a lake, this is a sedimentary deposit.Sedimentary rock were deposited millions of years ago as strata (layers)of loose material.They consist of materials that were once a part of older rocks or plants and animals.
