GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This type of rock is formed when rock layers are formed due to the mechanical weathering of different rock types.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks are made from pieces of bedrock, sediment, derived primarily by mechanical weathering. Clastic rocks may also include chemically weathered sediment. Clastic rocks are classified by grain shape, grain size, and sorting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth’s surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification.

Detailed explanation-4: -stratification, the layering that occurs in most sedimentary rocks and in those igneous rocks formed at the Earth’s surface, as from lava flows and volcanic fragmental deposits.

Detailed explanation-5: -Clastic sedimentary rocks: These rocks are formed from the mechanical weathering debris. Sandstone, and siltstone are examples of clastic sedimentary rocks.
