Answer» 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. Thus, there are 4 major TYPES of sedimentary rocks: Clastic Sedimentary Rocks, Chemical Sedimentary Rocks, Biochemical Sedimentary Rocks, and Organic Sedimentary Rocks Explanation: Thank you |
