How can you tell the difference between an evaporate and a clastic sedimentary rock?
To put it simply, 'clastic' means that the sedimentary rock is deposited from 'recycled' previous rock, 'organic' means that it is sedimentary rock derived from some form of life - plants or animals, and 'chemical' means that it has precipitated out of water through evaporation or through chemical interaction of two different bodies of water.

How is a fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock produced?
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
Is a shale sedimentary rock?

How does one clastic detrital sedimentary rock have a texture and composition different than another?
Different clastic sediments have different textures based on the size, shape, and sorting of the grains they are composed of. The composition of a clastic sedimentary rock will vary depending on the mineralogy of the grains present in the rock. Factors such as the source rock, transportation distance, and depositional environment can all contribute to the differences in texture and composition between clastic sedimentary rocks.
What types of minerals are clastic sedimentary rocks made of?
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.
Is conglomerate a clastic rock?
No, conglomerate is a sedimentary rock composed of rounded rock fragments cemented together. Clastic rocks are composed of individual grains or fragments of minerals or rocks that have been compacted and cemented together.
