Here's a breakdown:
* Clastic: This refers to the fact that the rock is made up of fragments, or clasts.
* Sedimentary: This means the rock was formed from sediments that were deposited, compacted, and cemented together over time.
Examples of clastic sedimentary rocks include:
* Sandstone: Formed from cemented sand grains.
* Conglomerate: Formed from cemented gravel-sized fragments.
* Breccia: Similar to conglomerate, but the fragments are angular instead of rounded.
* Shale: Formed from cemented clay particles.
