Best Answer

Sedimentary rock could be divided into two categories: clastic (those derived from particles of pre-existing rock sediments) and non-clastic (those derived from chemical processes or of biologic origin). In reality, sedimentary rock types are broken down into multiple classifications based on their origin and makeup.
