Detrital rocks are sedimentary rocks that are composed of particles of weathered and eroded igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks that have been deposited, compacted, and cemented together. Sandstone, conglomerate, shale, and breccia are examples of detrital sedimentary rocks.

What kind of rock has layers and is made from small grain?
That is correct. A detrital (or "clastic") sedimentary rock is formed by sediment grains that have been weathered and eroded by existing rocks and then deposited as layers.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
Describe the requirements for a material to be classified as a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks have three main types that reflect their origins: Detrital chemical and biochemical.
How are detrital chemical and biochemical sedimentary rocks different?
Detrital rocks are composed of rock particles, chemical sedimentary rocks are composed of precipitated minerals.Examples:Detrital or clastic rocks:ConglomerateBrecciaSandstoneShaleChemical sedimentary rocks:Rock saltSome limestonesRock gypsumWhat_is_the_difference_between_detrital_and_chemical_sedimentary_rock

What are the main sub-categories Sedimentary Rock?
Detrital sedimentary rock Chemical sedimentary rock Biological sedimentary rock
Is shale detrital chemical or organic rock?
Detrital, this is coming from my Geology textbook.

Although not a rock... a material similar to detrital sedimentary rocks is WHAT?
Concrete!
Is compaction a step in the rock cycle of a sedimentary rock?
Compaction is a step in the creation of detrital sedimentary rock, those formed from the lithification of sediments.
Is limestone chemical sedimentary rock?
It can be. Limestone can be derived from precipitating minerals, in which case it is a chemical sedimentary rock. It can also be formed from the remains of marine organisms, in which case it is described as a bioclastic sedimentary rock, a form of detrital rock.
What rocks form in layers from broken rock shells plants and other materials?
Detrital Sedimentary Rock
