lithification
Shale, sandstone, and conglomerate are examples of clastic sedimentary rock.
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
No, clastic sedimentary rock with very large particles is not metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock is formed from existing rock that has been changed by heat and pressure. Clastic sedimentary rock, on the other hand, is formed from the accumulation and cementation of broken rock fragments.
Conglomerate is a clastic rock. They are coarse-grained sedimentary rocks.
lithification
Clastic sedimentary rock.
A major process in the formation of clastic sedimentary rock is lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of loose sediment particles. These particles are typically derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks. Over time, the layers of compacted sediment become solidified into rock through the process of lithification.
No, conglomerate is a sedimentary rock composed of rounded rock fragments cemented together. Clastic rocks are composed of individual grains or fragments of minerals or rocks that have been compacted and cemented together.
Bituminous is not clastic, as clastic refers to sedimentary rocks composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks. Bituminous, on the other hand, is a type of coal formed from the compression and heating of organic matter.
Shale is clastic sedimentary rock.
Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of fine-grained sediment such as mud or clay.
Breccia is a type of sedimentary rock composed of angular fragments that are cemented together. It forms when rock fragments are broken apart through processes like faulting or landslides and then re-cemented together. This gives breccia a rugged appearance with sharp edges and can vary in color depending on the types of rock fragments present.
Breccias are a relatively common clastic sedimentary rock.

non clastic sedimentary rock :)
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.
