Sediments are piled on top of one other over short periods of time
Catastrophists believe that the majority of sedimentary rocks where formed quickly in a catastrophic global flood (Noah's flood). The dynamics associated with the movement of the water and location of sedimentary deposits dictated the types of sedimentary rock produced. Compare this with the uniformitarian view wherein sediments are laid down slowly over vast periods of time. Throughout this period, conditions evolved and the sediments hardened to become sedimentary rock.
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.

Organic Sedimentary Rocks are formed from remains of plants and animals.
Clastic sedimentary rocks and Cataclasites (a form of metamorphic rock) are formed from broken rocks.
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Clastic Sedimentary Rock- Sedimnetary rocks formed from fragments of rocks cemented together by minerals such as calcite.Chemical Sedimentary Rock- Sedimentary rocks formed from a solution of minerals (such as halite) and water.Organice Sedimentary Rocks- Sedimentary Rocks formed from the remaints of dead sea animals and seashells.
Clastic and nonclastic
Chemically formed sedimentary rocks are formed from dead remains of plants and animals that is from an organic sediment.
