Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of silicate minerals and rock fragments that were transported by moving fluids. 7. Sedimentary Rock Building Oviedo's Cathedral is made with limestone, a sedimentary rock. 8. METAMORPHIC ROCKS Metamorphic rocks is the result of the transformation of an existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism. WE USED METAMORPHICS ROCK TO BUILD A LOT OF THINGS, FOR EXAMPLE THIS BATHROOM WITH A LOT OF SLATE SINCE MIDDLE AGES WE USED SLATE IN THE ROOFS 9. METAMORPHIC ROCKS 10. BUILDINGWITHMETAMORPHICROCKS One example of building with metamorphic rocks is: Taj Mahal with marble, and we use marble in a lot of bathrooms or kitchens.
