GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical sedimentary rocks, like limestone, halite, and flint, form from chemical precipitation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical Sedimentary Rock Chemical sedimentary rocks form by chemical precipitation that begins when water traveling through rock dissolves some of the minerals. These minerals are carried away from their source and eventually redeposited, or precipitated, when the water evaporates away.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sedimentary rocks can be organized into two categories. The first is detrital rock, which comes from the erosion and accumulation of rock fragments, sediment, or other materials-categorized in total as detritus, or debris. The other is chemical rock, produced from the dissolution and precipitation of minerals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Clastic Sedimentary Rocks: 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -1) Clastic (detrital) sedimentary rocks are composed of the solid products of weathering (gravel, sand, silt, and clay) cemented together by the dissolved weathering products.
