Clastic (or detrital): Sedimentary rock formed from particles of other sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock which has been weathered, eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented. Examples of clastic sedimentary rock include shale, sandstone, mudstone, and conglomerate.
Chemical: Chemical sedimentary rocks have intergrown mineral crystals that are precipitated from saturated aqueous solutions and chemical residues. The precipitated minerals that are commonly included are halite, quartz, limonite, calcite, chert, dolomite, hematite, and gypsum; consequently, common chemical rocks are limestone, chert, and rock gypsum.
Organic:
Organic sedimentary rock is rock that is derived or generated from sediments that are produced by organisms. Coal and chalk are examples of organic sedimentary rock.

Shale, sandstone, and conglomerate are examples of clastic sedimentary rock.
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
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.

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.
Shale, sandstone, and conglomerate are examples of clastic sedimentary rock.

Clastic
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.
