Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clastic sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation of fragments of other rocks, such as sandstone (composed of sand grains) or shale (composed of clay particles). Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of once-living organisms, while chemical sedimentary rock forms from the precipitation of minerals from solution. Inorganic is not a category of sedimentary rock but rather a term used to describe substances that are not derived from living organisms.
