6. Summary.
Sedimentary rocks cover about three fourth of the Earth’s land surface.
Clastic sediment is sediment composed of fragments of weathered rock called clasts. Clastic sediment is rounded and sorted during transport and then deposited. Most sediment becomes lithified by compaction and cementation.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of lithified clastic sediment and are named and classified primarily according to the size of the clastic grains. Common types are conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, shale, claystone, and mudstone.
Organic sedimentary rocks are made up of the remains of organisms. Coal and chert are common organic sedimentary rocks.
