Most sedimentary rocks are made from the accumulation and compaction of sediments such as clay, sand, and rock fragments. These sediments are often deposited by water, wind, or ice over time.
All rocks are made of minerals
Rocks are predominantly made of minerals, which are naturally occurring inorganic solid substances. The most common minerals found in rocks include quartz, feldspar, mica, and amphibole. Rocks can also contain organic materials like fossils or remnants of plants and animals.
Most non-clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of minerals that have precipitated from water, such as limestone, which is composed of calcite. Other non-clastic sedimentary rocks include organic-rich rocks like coal and chert, a silica-rich rock formed from the remains of marine organisms.
