Of the following the only process NOT involved in the making of clastic rocks is what?

Crystallization is not involved in the making of clastic rocks. Clastic rocks are formed through the accumulation and cementation of loose rock fragments, called clasts, through processes like weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition. Crystallization typically refers to the formation of crystals from a liquid or gas, and is more commonly associated with the formation of igneous or metamorphic rocks.


How do clastic rocks differ from non clastic rocks in terms of process of formation?

Clastic rocks are composed of broken pieces of older rocks that have been broken up by the process of weathering and are therefore sedimentary in nature. The "clasts" (bits of older rock) may vary in size.


What major process in the formation of clastic sedimentary rocks is .?

Cementation

How are clastic rocks grouped?

Clastic rocks are grouped based on the size of the grains of sediment contained within them.


What do clastic and chemical rocks have in common?

Clastic and chemical rocks are both types of sedimentary rocks. They form from the accumulation and cementation of sediment particles. Clastic rocks are composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks, while chemical rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions.


What are the three categories of sedimentary rocks?

The three categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic rocks form from the accumulation of weathered rock fragments, chemical rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water, and organic rocks form from the remains of living organisms.


Difference between clastic rocks and non-clastic rocks?

Clastic rocks are sedimentary rocks consisting of bits and pieces of other rocks created by physical/mechanical weathering. Non-clastic are also sedimentary rocks; however are absent bits and pieces of other rocks and are formed through chemical processes (e.g. hydrolysis, evaporation, precipitation, oxidation) or form out of organic material (e.g. coal, chalk).
