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 sediments that were transported, deposited, and then lithified (turned into rock).
Some common examples of clastic sedimentary rocks include:
* Conglomerate: Made from rounded fragments.
* Breccia: Made from angular fragments.
* Sandstone: Made from sand-sized grains.
* Siltstone: Made from silt-sized grains.
* Shale: Made from clay-sized grains.
