Sedimentary rocks are formed from compressed fragments and particles that accumulate on the seafloor over time. Sedimentary rocks can be identified by their layered structure, occasional inclusion of fossils, and composition of grains or particles. They tend to be less hard than igneous rocks and may be porous. Major types of sedimentary rocks include shale, chert, limestone, sandstone, rock salt, conglomerate, and coal.

fragments of rocks or mud collected on the sea bed. More layers build up on the top of them, the weight of the new layers presses the particles in the deeper layers together. That’s called Sedimentary rocks. How to tell if the rock is a Sedimentary ? Sedimentary rocks has layers. Sometimes, these layers contains fossils. Sedimentary rocks are made of grains or particles. What are the properties of Sedimentary rocks ? Sedimentary rocks are less hard than most igneous rocks, it means that it’s easier to scratch them. Some Sedimentary rocks are porous, you can find if the rock is porous by dropping it in water. Sedimentary are made of grains. Types of Sedimentary rocks. 1. Shale. 9. Coal. 2. Chert. 3. Limestone. 4. Sandstone. 5. Rock Salt. 6. Conglomerate. 7. Shale. 8. Breccia. Shale Breccia Coal Limestone
