mid ocean ridges
Detrital sediment consists primarily of mineral grains that were eroded from rocks on land. These mineral grains are transported by wind, water, or ice and eventually settle and accumulate to form detrital sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone or shale.

The sediment that consists primarily of material grains eroded from rocks on land is called clastic sediment. This type of sediment is formed from the weathering and fragmentation of pre-existing rocks, and it typically includes particles like sand, silt, and clay. These grains are transported by wind, water, or ice and eventually deposited in various environments, forming sedimentary rocks over time through lithification.
Terrigenous
Rock gypsum is formed by precipitation from saturated solutions that are composed primarily of dissolved gypsum. In this case, there is no true sediment, only the solution containing the dissolved mineral that was originally present in weathered and eroded rock.
Rock salt is formed from the evaporation of saturated solutions that are composed primarily of dissolved halite. In this case, there is no true sediment, only the solution containing the dissolved mineral that was originally present in weathered and eroded rock.
