GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Common sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks often start as sediments carried in rivers and deposited in lakes and oceans. When buried, the sediments lose water and become cemented to form rock. Tuffaceous sandstones contain volcanic ash.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coal is a sedimentary rock formed over millions of years from compressed plants. Inorganic detrital rocks, on the other hand, are formed from broken up pieces of other rocks, not from living things. These rocks are often called clastic sedimentary rocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Clastic sedimentary rocks form when existing parent rock material is weathered, fragmented, transported, and deposited in layers that compact, cement, and lithify to form sedimentary rocks.
