5.2 What is the link between weathering and sediment?
- Weathering breaks down rock into the components of sediment.
- Clastic sediment consists of mineral and rock fragments from physical weathering processes and new mineral grains from chemical weathering.
- Chemical sediment consists of minerals precipitated from water from ions generated mainly by chemical weathering.
