Question

Describe the pattern clastic sedimentary rocks exhibit after the formation of many layers

Answer 1

Depending on the energy of the transporting medium and the degree of abrasion caused by the transportation, the clastic sedimentary rock could have rounded edges and may contain large to fine particles. Layers can be chipped off due to the transfer of the rock from one place to another, thus resulting in reduced rock size and a smoother, more even texture.
