clastic rock
Sedimentary rocks made of weathered rock fragments are called clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of fragments that have been weathered, eroded, and transported from their original source. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Sedimentary rock composed of older fragments of rock is called a conglomerate. This type of rock forms when pebbles and small stones are cemented together.
A sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together is called a conglomerate. This rock is composed of rounded fragments that have been cemented together by a finer material, such as sand or mud.
The main types of sedimentary rocks are clastic (formed from fragments of other rocks), chemical (formed from minerals precipitated from water), and organic (formed from the remains of once-living organisms). Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale.

clastic rock
Sedimentary rock formed from rock fragments is called clastic sedimentary rock. These rocks are made up of pieces of other rocks that have been weathered, transported, and then deposited and cemented together. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
The resulting sedimentary rock is classified as clastic.
Sedimentary rocks made of weathered rock fragments are called clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of fragments that have been weathered, eroded, and transported from their original source. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Sedimentary rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together. This happens through a process called lithification where sediments are compacted and cemented together over time. Sandstone and conglomerate are examples of sedimentary rocks formed in this way.
A sedimentary rock is formed when rock fragments are compacted and cemented together by pressure and minerals. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Sedimentary rock
Any rock (igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic) may be broken into fragments that may later be formed into sedimentary rock.
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called a conglomerate. Conglomerates are made up of rounded or angular fragments of various sizes and types of rocks that have been cemented together.

Limestone is a common sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of shell fragments, coral, and other marine organisms. Over time, these organic materials can become compressed and cemented together to create a solid rock formation.
