Sedimentary rocks are made from weathered down materials, often rocks, so they can be argued that they come from other rocks.

Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks; these rocks go under extreme heat and pressure.

In conclusion, metamorphic rocks are definitely made from other rocks, and sedimentary rocks are sometimes made from other rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are always made of other rocks,extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks as well as metamorphic rocks are weathered and eroded by agents like water , wind and sunlight and are stratified and compacted to form sedimentary rocks. Hence, even if metamorphic rocks are made from rocks, sedimentary rocks are definitely made from other rocks. Eg: sedimentary rock shale gets metamorphosed into slate and further metamorphosed into shcist which is the parent material of granite which can be effected by agents of weathering and erosion into sedimentary rocks again.

What kind of sedimentary rock is made of fragment of rocks cemented together by a mineral?

Breccia is the type of sedimentary rock that is made of other fragmented rocks. The mineral that holds the fragments together can be made from the same rock material as the larger fragments, or from a different type of rock entirely.


Rocks made of other rock fragments cemented together are called?

Rocks made of other rock fragments cemented together are called sedimentary rocks. These rocks form through the deposition and solidification of sediments, such as sand, clay, and pebbles, that have been compacted and cemented together over time.


A sedimentary rock made up of fragments of other rocks such as Breccia is?

Breccia is a sedimentary rock composed of angular fragments of other rocks cemented together. It forms when fragments are compacted and cemented together by minerals, creating a mosaic-like appearance. Breccia can consist of a variety of rock types depending on the environment in which it formed.
