Sediment classification is the process of categorizing sediment based on its size, composition, and origin. Sediments can be classified into different types, such as clastic, chemical, and biogenic, depending on how they are formed. Clastic sediments are made from fragments of other rocks, while chemical sediments form from the precipitation of minerals from water. Biogenic sediments originate from the remains of living organisms. The classification of sediments is important for understanding geological processes and environments. It helps scientists study sedimentary rocks, soil formation, and ecosystems. By analyzing sediment characteristics, researchers can gain insights into past climates and the history of the Earth.
