Question

Define clastic sedimentary rock:
(3 sentences max)

Answer 1

Clastic sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation of fragments or clasts of pre-existing rocks. These fragments, which can range in size from tiny grains to large boulders, are transported and then deposited by various agents such as water, wind, or ice. Over time, the sediments become compacted and cemented together to form solid rock.
