📚noun

clast

🗣️

DEFINITION

a fragment of rock, a broken piece of geological material, a particle in sedimentary rock

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Geologists examined each clast in the sedimentary rock to determine its geological origin. The clast had been transported many miles by ancient rivers before settling in the valley. Large clasts in the conglomerate indicate that the water current was once very strong. Scientists classify clasts according to their size shape and mineral composition for research purposes. The cliff erosion released countless clasts that gradually accumulated on the beach below.
