Chemical/Biochemical Made from sediments which precipitate from water (usually seawater) through chemical or biochemical processes Sedimentary Cycle All sedimentary rocks go through a cycle similar to this one: Weathering from previous rocks Erosion of weathering products Transport of particles from weathering region to someplace else Deposition of sediments Burial of sediments Diagenesis We will illustrate these processes with clastic rocks, then discuss chemical and biochemical rocks.
