Section 1: Classifying Rocks Mineral Composition and Color
... Rocks are made of mixtures of minerals and other materials. Some rocks contain one mineral, others contain several minerals. About 20 minerals make up most of the rocks of earth’s crust. These minerals are known as rock-forming minerals. A rock’s color provides clues to the rock’s mineral compositio ...

Clastic rock
Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock. A clast is a fragment of geological detritus, chunks and smaller grains of rock broken off other rocks by physical weathering. 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.
