Is hardened clay a rock?

Hardened clay is not classified as a rock in the traditional sense; rather, it is a type of sediment that has undergone significant compaction and mineral alteration due to pressure and heat. While it can have rock-like properties and may be referred to as "claystone" when compacted, it typically lacks the crystalline structure that characterizes true rocks. Therefore, while hardened clay can resemble rock, it is more accurately categorized as a type of sedimentary material.

Is it possible that a rock could be derived from clay?

Yes, it is possible for a rock to be derived from clay. Clay is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from the weathering and erosion of rocks over long periods of time. Through processes like compaction and cementation, clay can become hardened and turn into a new type of rock.


What are sedimentary rocks made of lava or magma?

Neither. Sedimentary rocks are made out of sand, silt, clay, etc. Over time these can accumulate, and under sufficient pressure they are compressed into rock.
