All clastic rocks are made up by rock fragments of different size. Siliciclastic rocks (rocks composed chiefly of broken up silicate material) are classified depending on what the predominant grain size is, how wide the spread in grain size is, what the form of the grains are and what the contributing minerals are.
Very badly sorted clastic rocks with rounded fragments chiefly of gravel size is called conglomerate.
Well sorted silicate material, mainly of sizes between 0.1 to 0.2 mm diameter, is called sandstone (made up of fine sand).
Clastic rocks are made up of broken fragments of pre-existing rocks, while non-clastic rocks are formed from chemical processes or organic matter. Sandstone is an example of a clastic rock, formed from the accumulation of sand grains, while limestone is a non-clastic rock formed from the accumulation of organic material or through chemical precipitation.
Metamorphic rock
Clastic limestone is made up of fragments of pre-existing limestone, while fossiliferous limestone contains fossil remains. Clastic limestone forms through mechanical processes like erosion and sedimentation, while fossiliferous limestone results from the accumulation of marine organisms' shells and skeletons.
Clastic sedimentary rock.
a clastic sedimentary rock. That's because organic are made up of remains, and chemical are made up of the water cycle, like precipitation etc. research what's a clastic rock and you'll find out. research some info about breccia and you'll se why. I guess you don't wanna research, but its better so that you understand it better than me telling you. hope that's right. luck.
Sandstones are made out of sand sized particles or rock grains. Sandstones are clastic sedimentary rock. Some sandstone is composed of feldspar or quartz.
Sandstone, conglomerate, and breccia are examples of clastic sedimentary rock, composed of particles of other rocks.
Siltstone is a clastic rock formed from tiny particles of clay. The small particle size distinguishes siltstone from shale, which is also made of clay particles but has a finer texture. Siltstone typically forms in marine or river environments where clay-sized particles settle out of suspension and are compacted over time.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of broken pieces of preexisting rock that are compacted together. The mineral quartz makes up sixty percent of the clastic sedimentary rocks.
clastic rock
maybe shale
Clastic rocks are made up of broken fragments of pre-existing rocks, while non-clastic rocks are formed from chemical processes or organic matter. Sandstone is an example of a clastic rock, formed from the accumulation of sand grains, while limestone is a non-clastic rock formed from the accumulation of organic material or through chemical precipitation.
clastic
Metamorphic rock
No, limestone made from precipitated calcite is not considered clastic. Clastic rocks are formed from fragments of pre-existing rocks, while limestone is formed through the accumulation of calcite deposits from the precipitation of calcium carbonate.
