How do clastic sedimentary rocks form

Biology
2 answers:
Amanda [17]2 years ago

Answer:

When the rocks are weathered, they are broken down into smaller particles or sediments. These sediments are then transported from one place to another by the agents such as wind, water and ice. These sediments are then deposited in a different area and over a due course of time, these sediments undergoes compaction and lithification, forming clastic sedimentary rocks. The word 'clastic' refers to the weathered and broken fragments of rock particles.

For example, Conglomerate, Sandstone and Breccia.

Deposition : sediments are deposited and trapped in the basin

prisoha [69]
D) Endocytosis is a transport mechanism that utilizes energy.
Endocytosis is an active transport, a biological process in which <span>molecules from outside the cell (proteins for example) are passed through the cell membrane and put into the cell. This process requires energy.

The other transport mechanisms, osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion are processes that do not utilize energy. </span>
