Clastic rocks are grouped based on the size of the grains of sediment contained within them.
They are all Sedimentary
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of broken pieces of preexisting rock that are compacted together. The mineral quartz makes up sixty percent of the clastic sedimentary rocks.

Rocks are classified into the three categories, based on the method of their formation: Three main categories - igneous (solidified from magma/lava) metamorphic (undergone change from applied heat/pressure) sedimentary (deposited- can be clastic, biochemical and precipitated)
Clastic and chemical rocks are both types of sedimentary rocks. They form from the accumulation and cementation of sediment particles. Clastic rocks are composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks, while chemical rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions.
The three categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic rocks form from the accumulation of weathered rock fragments, chemical rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water, and organic rocks form from the remains of living organisms.
Clastic rocks are sedimentary rocks consisting of bits and pieces of other rocks created by physical/mechanical weathering. Non-clastic are also sedimentary rocks; however are absent bits and pieces of other rocks and are formed through chemical processes (e.g. hydrolysis, evaporation, precipitation, oxidation) or form out of organic material (e.g. coal, chalk).
Clastic rocks are composed of broken pieces of older rocks that have been broken up by the process of weathering and are therefore sedimentary in nature. The "clasts" (bits of older rock) may vary in size.

Conglomerate, Sandstone and Shale are the three most common clastic sedimentary rocks.
