08-06-2016

A clastic sedimentary rock is composed of silicate minerals and rock fragments. They are transported by moving fluids such as sedimentation due to gravity and are deposited in the area where it stays. They are composed mostly of feldspar, quartz, rock (lithic) fragments, clay minerals and mica.

Answer: Erosion

Explanation:

weathering and movement of the resulting sediments is called erosion. But sedimentary rock formation can begins from igneous, metamorphic and also other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth’s surface, they begin the long slow but unceasingly process of becoming sedimentary rock.

Also Sedimentation, burial and lithification are the processes that transform weathering products into sedimentary rocks.

Sediments and the environments in which they form are fundamentally divided into 2; which are clastic and chemical:

1. Clastic sediments are made of physically transported and deposited particles.

2. Chemical sediments are from solution, organically or inorganically; biochemical sediment more specifically refers to minerals grown from solution by organisms.
