Clastic sedimentary rocks are rocks composed predominantly of broken pieces or clasts of older weathered and eroded rocks. Clastic sediments or sedimentary rocks are classified based on grain size, clast and cementing material (matrix) composition, and texture. The classification factors are often useful in determining a sample's environment of deposition. An example clastic environment would be a river system in which the full range of grains being transported by the moving water consist of pieces eroded from solid rock upstream.
In this minivideo we will discuss the three steps in the formation of clastic sedimentary rocks - weathering, transportation, and lithification.

Clastic Sedimentary Rocks
How clastic rocks form. Sedimentary rocks are derived from igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
Sedimentary rocks make up around 75 percent of the rocks at the earth's surface
Let’s take a look at how clastic sedimentary rocks form. Clastic sedimentary rocks are the group of rocks most people think of when they think of sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces of pre-existing rocks called clasts.
These sedimentary rocks follow wedcc in order to form
Weathering:
Erosion
Deposition
Compaction
Cementation

Clastic Dikes: strange and interesting geologic features within Grand Staircase-Escalante NM, Utah
Join geology professor Shawn Willsey as he investigates a clastic dike in the Jurassic Entrada Formation near the Paria River in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah. Clastic dikes are intriguing geologic features that form in a very different manner than traditional igneous dikes where saturated sediment moves through and cuts existing sedimentary layers.

SR2a-How to Observe, Identify, and Name Common, Clastic Sedimentary Rock
This video explains how to observe features of common clastic sedimentary rock. This video shows rock samples and demonstrates procedures for making important observations. These features help you to identify these rock types by name from a classification table. Suitable as a pre-lab or post-lab practice in a beginning geology or earth science course. For teachers and students of earth science and geology.

From the moment I saw The stars didn't seem so bright And when I got to know you Girl you lit up my life For the night you lead me To a place they can't see Where we can just be alone Got a look on your eyes It's in both of our minds I'm feeling you girl you know Cause you're shining like a glow stick Girl your body's so sick Everybody knows it And I don't know if you noticed Girl you got me open Trying not to show it It's the way your skin grows We're lost here in time And when you touch my body I can feel the beat of your heart I've never felt this way before, tonight I can't wait to see your light Let's go somewhere You've only fantasised I wanna hold you in the darkness girl I've never felt so alive For the night you lead me To a place they can't see Where we can just be alone Got a look on your eyes It's in both of our minds I'm feeling you girl you know Cause you're shining like a glow stick Girl your body's so sick Everybody knows it And I don't know if you noticed Girl you got me open Trying not to show it It's the way your skin grows We're lost here in time And when you touch my body I can feel the beat of your heart I've never felt this way before, tonight
