Clastic rock : ウィキペディア英語版 | Clastic rock
Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock. A clast is a fragment of geological detritus,〔Essentials of Geology, 3rd Ed, Stephen Marshak, p G-3〕 chunks and smaller grains of rock broken off other rocks by physical weathering.〔Essentials of Geology, 3rd Ed, Stephen Marshak, p G-5〕 Geologists use the term clastic with reference to sedimentary rocks as well as to particles in sediment transport whether in suspension or as bed load, and in sediment deposits. == Clastic metamorphic and igneous rocks == Clastic metamorphic rocks include breccias formed in faults, as well as some protomylonite and pseudotachylite. Occasionally, metamorphic rocks can be brecciated via hydrothermal fluids, forming a hydrofracture breccia. Clastic igneous rocks include pyroclastic volcanic rocks such as tuff, agglomerate and intrusive breccias, as well as some marginal eutaxitic and taxitic intrusive morphologies. Igneous clastic rocks are broken by flow, injection or explosive disruption of solid or semi-solid igneous rocks or lavas.
