Answer 2

HERE'S WE LIST SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS:-

$\huge\purple\bigstar$All sedimentary rocks are lithified into some collective mass. Lithification is any process that turns raw rock sediment into consolidated sedimentary rock. The process of lithification usually produces identifiable layering in these type of rocks.

$\huge\pink\bigstar$The classification of clastic sedimentary rocks is based on the particle types found in the rock. Some types of clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of weathered rock material like gravel, sand, silt, and clay.

$\huge\blue\bigstar$Several types of sedimentary rocks are formed from the lithification of once living organisms. Limestone deposits can be formed by the direct lithification of coral reefs, marine organism shells, or marine organism skeletons.

$\huge\orange\bigstar$The sedimentary rocks are comparatively softer than the igneous rocks .

$\huge\green\bigstar$These rocks have layers horizontally arranged one above the other.
