What type of sedimentary rocks forms from the breakdown of lager rocks?

Sedimentary rocks that form from the breakdown of larger rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are created when fragments of pre-existing rocks, known as clasts, are weathered and eroded, then transported, deposited, and lithified through processes such as compaction and cementation. Common examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate, each varying in grain size and composition depending on the source material.
