Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What are the two main types of sedimentary rocks?
The two main types of sedimentary rocks are clastic (detrital) rocks, which are made of pre-existing rock fragments cemented together, and chemical rocks, which form from minerals that precipitate out of solution.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.

Name the three types of rocks?
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are the three main types of rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten rock, sedimentary rocks from the accumulation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks from the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure.
Can you give me facts about sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments in layers over time. They account for about 75% of all rock on Earth's surface. Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale. Fossils are commonly found in sedimentary rocks, making them important for understanding Earth's history.
