Here's a breakdown:
* Clastic: This refers to the fact that the rock is made up of fragments (clasts) of other rocks.
* Sedimentary: This indicates that the rock was formed from sediment, which are the small fragments that accumulate and harden over time.
Examples of clastic sedimentary rocks include:
* Sandstone: Formed from sand grains.
* Conglomerate: Formed from gravel-sized fragments.
* Shale: Formed from clay and silt particles.
