Clastic made from pieces of other rocks sandstone is an example Organic made from once living organisms coal is an example Chemical made in mineral rich water from evaporation halite is an example Sedimentary rocks can be made from pieces of other rocks or pieces of once living organisms. true false Sedimentary rocks can be made of what size particles? microscopic small very large all of the above Give two ways humans have used sedimentary rocks.
