      Clastic sedimentary rocks are rocks that are made from natural processes. This can be like if rocks are eroded by glaciers, wind or water and are deposited to make sedimentary rock.

      Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by evaporation or precipitation of water that is rich in minerals.
