Sedimentary
Sedimentary
When sand, clay, or silt gradually turn into stone, we call them sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed through the accumulation and compaction of sediment over time.
Subsoil.
Yes, water is gradually expelled from compacting clay and mud sediments as the particles are forced closer together. This process, known as dewatering, occurs due to the pressure of overlying sediments and results in the consolidation of the sediment layer.

Clay soil can become hard as stone when dry due to its fine particles that easily compact together. When clay soil dries out, it shrinks and hardens, making it difficult for water to penetrate and plants to grow.
Clay particles are of colloidal dimension i.e. 1 to 2 microns .
Clay particles are smaller than silt particles. Clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter, while silt particles range from 0.002 to 0.05 mm.
Silt particles are larger than clay particles. Silt particles range from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in size, while clay particles are smaller, measuring less than 0.002 mm in diameter.
