GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sedimentary rocks, in general, include cemented grains, typically with visible layers, fossils, or distinctive characteristics such as mud fissures or ripple lines.

Detailed explanation-2: -95% of all sedimentary rocks consists of sandstones (made up of sand sized fragments), mudrocks (made up of silt and clay sized fragments), and carbonate rocks (made up of mostly calcite, aragonite, or dolomite). Of these, the mudrocks are most abundant, making up about 65% of all sedimentary rocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sedimentary rocks are classified based on how they form and on the size of the sediments, if they are clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock fragments, or clasts; chemical sedimentary rocks precipitate from fluids; and biochemical sedimentary rocks form as precipitation from living organisms.
