Is detrital rock a sedimentary?
yes.
What type of sedimentary rock forms when particles of mineral and rocks are cemented together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
Is shale detrital chemical or organic rock?
Shale is a detrital rock, meaning it is composed of fragments of other rocks and minerals. It forms from the compaction and cementation of silt and clay particles. There are organic-rich shales as well, but they are still considered detrital in nature.
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.
Which sedimentary rocks are derived from weathered particles?
Detrital sedimentary rocks are made from weathered rocks.
What is a type of detrital sedimentary rock?
Detrital rocks are sedimentary rocks that are composed of particles of weathered and eroded igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks that have been deposited, compacted, and cemented together. Sandstone, conglomerate, shale, and breccia are examples of detrital sedimentary rocks.
Is detrital rock a sedimentary?

What rocks form in layers from broken rock shells plants and other materials?
Detrital Sedimentary Rock
What kind of rock has layers and is made from small grain?
A type of rock that has layers and is made from small grains is sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks form when sediments such as sand, silt, or clay are compacted and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone and shale.
Is limestone an example of a detrital sedimentary rock?
It can be. Some limestone is formed from the precipitation of calcite from saturated solutions, and is considered a chemical sedimentary rock. Other limestone that consists largely of the skeletal remains of marine organisms is considered bio-clastic, a cross between an organic and a detrital sedimentary rock. Typical detrital sedimentary rocks are those composed mostly of particles of pre-existing rock, although organic matter may be included; examples would be sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Is shale detrital chemical or organic rock?
Shale is a detrital rock, meaning it is composed of fragments of other rocks and minerals. It forms from the compaction and cementation of silt and clay particles. There are organic-rich shales as well, but they are still considered detrital in nature.
What are detrital rocks formed from?
Detrital sedimentary rocks, also called clastic sedimentary rocks, are composed of rock fragments that have been weathered from pre-existing rocks. They are the most common rocks on the surface of the earth.
