Yes.
Clay is actually a description of sediment of a specific particle size. As such clay is not necessarily a rock. However when compacted and cemented clay forms claystone which is a sedimentary rock.
The cementing material could be calcite, clay minerals, iron minerals, or quartz in a clastic sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock.
Granite, Clay.
Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material that is composed of mineral particles smaller than silt. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that is formed from the compaction of clay, silt, or mud over time. Essentially, shale is the hardened form of clay.
Yes, it is possible for rocks to form from clay. Clay is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed of very fine mineral particles. Over time, compaction and cementation of clay particles can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks such as shale or mudstone.
Clay is not a rock or a mineral by itself. It is a type of soil material composed of very fine particles that are derived from the weathering of rocks. Clay minerals are the specific minerals that make up clay.
Yes. Compaction and cementation of clay minerals can result in the formation of shale and claystone.
well, i think the question would be more 'is clay a rock or mineral' but either way, it is a rock you could have googled that, but i think you just needed to change some words! hope i helped! (:

If clay is a rock
A dried clay cannot be classified as a rock
the type of rock made mostly from clay is the shale rock
A wacke is a variety of soft, earthy, dark-coloured rock or clay derived from the alteration of basalt.
No, the clay was a rock but the pot, being artificially manufactured, is a ceramic. Similarly concrete is not a rock.
Soil can contain a variety of rock materials, such as sand, silt, and clay particles derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks. It may also contain larger rock fragments and minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica that have been broken down over time. The specific rock materials in soil will depend on the parent rock type in the area and the processes of weathering and erosion that have occurred.
There is a clay patch at the back of the Skull Rock Jungle on the second island, Just click harvest clay. It is a small steamy patch on the ground. :)
