GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sedimentary rocks are laid down in layers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sedimentary Rock. An example of a sedimentary rock, which is, by definition, composed of many, smaller rocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sedimentary rocks are one of three main types of rocks, along with igneous and metamorphic. They are formed on or near the Earth’s surface from the compression of ocean sediments or other processes.

Detailed explanation-5: -A clastic rock is a sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are (compacted) squeezed together and then cemented. Clastic rocks are grouped by the size of the rock fragments, or particles, of which they are made.
