    Sedimentary rocks make up about 5% of the Earth's crust but 75% of the rock exposed at the surface. There are three main types of sedimentary rocks: biogenic, chemical, and clastic. Biogenic rocks like limestone form from the remains of living organisms. Chemical rocks like rock salt directly precipitate out of water. Clastic rocks like sandstone form from the weathering and transport of pre-existing rocks that are broken into sediment particles.

    Sedimentary rock

    Sedimentary Rocks Clastic Sedimentary Rock


    Generally, made from older Formation
    rocks, make up only ~5% of Sedimentery Rock Types
    Earth’s crust, but make up 75%
    of all rocks exposed at the
    surface
    Biogenic Chemical Clastic
    Biogenic – remains of living organisms Ex.: limestone
    Types: Biogenic Sedimentary Rocks, chalk, coal
    remains of living directly precipitates broken down rocks
    -Lithification of “organic” (plants, etc.) material   Ex.: organisms Ex.: out of water Ex.: (clasts) Ex.:
    limestone, chalk, coal rock salt sandstone
    Coal is formed from preserved plant material in swamps

    Chemical – directly precipitates out of water Ex.: rock salt


    Types: Chemical Sedimentary Rocks -Precipitation of
    minerals from a solution - Ex.: Salt, gypsum gypsum Step 1: Weathering-Breaks down a pre-
    existing rock, turns rock into sediment -
     Gravel, sand, silt, clay

    Step 3: Deposition
    Laying down of sediment carried by
    wind, water, or ice.

    Step 2: Transport of Sediment; Sediment


    carried by: - Wind -Water – Ice – gravity
