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.

What kind of rock breaks apart easily has layers and little round pebbles in it?

The rock you are describing sounds like shale. Shale is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of fine layers or sheets, which can easily break apart into smaller pieces. It often contains small round pebbles or grains of different minerals.


What are cave formation made around grains of sand?

Cave formations around grains of sand are known as ooids. Ooids form when calcium carbonate and other minerals accumulate around a grain of sand in a process known as ooidogenesis. Over time, layers of minerals build up around the core grain, creating rounded structures found in caves and sedimentary rocks.


What are aquifers made of?

Aquifers are underground layers of rock or sediment that hold water. They can be made of various materials such as sand, gravel, or porous rock that allow water to pass through and be stored underground.


What are the names of other two layers of the earth and what are they made of?

The other two layers of the Earth are the mantle and the core. The mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals, while the core is mostly made of iron and nickel.


Compare Earth's compositional layers with its structural layers?

Earth's compositional layers are the crust, mantle, and core, based on the materials they are made of (silicates vs. metals). Structural layers are based on their physical properties and include the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core. The main difference is that compositional layers are defined by chemical differences, while structural layers are based on physical properties like temperature and behavior.

What is the fire rating of plywood?

Plywood is a type of engineered wood made from thin sheets of wood veneer, called plies or veneers. The layers are glued together, each with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for greater strength.Plywood is a type of engineered wood made from thin sheets of wood veneer, called plies or veneers.

Why plywood is so strong?

Simply because the wood grain in each layer of the plywood - is laid at 90 degrees to the one it's touching. If the grain was laid the same way throughout - the wood would have a weakness along the length of the grain.
