Which rock is made up of sediment's?

Answer 1

A sedimentary rock is one that is formed by the accumulation of small to large sediment particles like clay, sand, gravel, pebbles, and boulders, and undergoes compaction, cementation or evaporation from a saturated mineral solution. Sedimentary rock is classified as organic, (derived from organisms) , clastic (formed from any size particle of pre-existing rock), or non-clastic (also referred to as chemical), where the sedimentary rock is formed from the evaporation of a solution that is saturated with mineral compounds. Examples of organic sedimentary rocks are coal and limestone. Examples of clastic sedimentary rocks are conglomerate and shale. Examples of non-clastic or chemical sedimentary rocks are rock gypsum and rock salt.

Answer 2

sedimentary rock is made of compressed layers of sediment, like sand, mud, silt or gravel. it's young rock that hasn't been pressurized or heated up a lot that would make it change into something else, like metamorphic or igneous rock. also, it's much easier to dig up, and a lot more yielding to drilling and water movement.

Answer 4

Sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, through processes like compaction and cementation. Common types of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
