Is shale igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of fine-grained sediment such as mud or clay.
Is conglomerate a clastic rock?
No, conglomerate is a sedimentary rock composed of rounded rock fragments cemented together. Clastic rocks are composed of individual grains or fragments of minerals or rocks that have been compacted and cemented together.
What type of sedimentary rock is chalk clastic chemical or organic?
Chalk is a type of sedimentary rock that is primarily composed of organic material, specifically the calcareous remains of marine microorganisms such as coccolithophores. It is not considered clastic, as it does not consist of fragments of pre-existing rock like clastic sedimentary rocks.
How is sedimatary rocks classified?
Sedimentary Rocks are classified based on some criterials, such as Origin and Mode of formation. Sedimentary Rocks can be classified into 3 as follows; 1. Clastic Sedimentary Rock. eg. Sandstone. 2. Organic Sedimentary Rock. eg. Limestone. 3. Chemical Sedimentary Rock. eg. Gypsum.
List three major groups of sedimentary rock?
Clastic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of mineral and rock fragments that are cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks: Formed from precipitation of minerals dissolved in water. Organic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of organic material, such as plants or animals.

Sedimentary rocks form from sediments being cemented together?
A sedimentary rock, such as sandstone (quartz mineral grains eroded, transported and set in a fine matrix of mud) or a conglomerate formed in a high energy environment such as a beach of fast-flowing river bed, containing large pebbles set in a fine to medium matrix of sand and mud grains.
