No, the Grand Canyon is a river valley eroded into rock - as such it is an absence of rock. However the rocks through which the river has eroded are, in the main, of sedimentary origin.

Is gneiss clastic organic or chemical?
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
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.

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.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What class of sedimentary rocks is made of fragments of rock minerals and shells?
The class of sedimentary rocks made of fragments of rock minerals and shells is known as clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments such as sand, silt, clay, and sometimes organic material. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
What are the three types of sedimentary 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.
