  • Identifying Sedimentary Rocks: Clastic Types Formed from Sea Bed Deposits
    The type of rock formed when small pebbles and particles fall to the bottom of sea beds is sedimentary rock.

    More specifically, it would be a clastic sedimentary rock, which is formed from fragments of other rocks. The specific type of clastic sedimentary rock depends on the size of the particles:

    * Conglomerate: If the pebbles are large and rounded.

    * Breccia: If the pebbles are angular and large.

    * Sandstone: If the particles are sand-sized.

    Let me know if you'd like more information about any of these rock types!
