Sedimentary rocks are divided into two broad classes, detrital sedimentary rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks as described below. Sedimentary rocks make up perhaps only five percent or so of the outer 16 kilometers (10 miles) of the Earth (Lutgens and Tarbuck), but the majority of surface rocks are sedimentary.

When particulate sediment accumulates in a sedimentary environment it is referred to as DETRITAL sediment. A rock formed when this lithifies is a DETRITAL SEDIMENTARY ROCK. Such rocks are further classified based on their grain sizes, shapes, arrangements, and (in some cases) mineralogy.
