Kirti
The sequence from the smallest to the largest grain in types of clastic rocks- Shale, siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate.
Explanation:
Clastic sedimentary rocks form by weathering processes which break down rocks into pebble, sand, or ela particles by exposure to wind, ice, and water. Clastic sedimentary rocks are names according to the grain size of the sediment particles. Conglomerate grains are coarse (64 mm to about 256 mm) and rounded. Angular grains in coarse breccia (2mm to 64mm) Sizes of sandstone grains range from 2 mm to 1/16 mm.
