Here's why:
* Clastic refers to the origin of the rock fragments (clasts). These fragments come from pre-existing rocks that have been weathered and eroded.
* Sedimentary indicates that the rock was formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments.
Here are some examples of clastic sedimentary rocks:
* Conglomerate: Made up of large, rounded clasts (gravel).
* Breccia: Made up of large, angular clasts (gravel).
* Sandstone: Made up of sand-sized clasts.
* Siltstone: Made up of silt-sized clasts.
* Shale: Made up of clay-sized clasts.
