    Answer:

A sedimentary rock is an accumulation of fragments of pre-existing rocks (sediments). There are three types of sedimentary rocks; Clastic (detrital), Chemical, and Biochemical (organic) rocks.

  • Clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks are made of sediments that are the result of weathering and transport. Exampls are breccia, conglomerate, sandstone and shale.
  • Chemical rocks are created from chemical precipitation, such as salt and some limestones.
  • Biochemical or organic rocks like coal and some limestones are made up biological (plant or animal) remains.
