Most detrital clastic sediment on earth forms by the weathering and erosion of mountain ranges.
Mineralized Sedimentary Rocks (Clastic) Detrital or clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pre-existing sediment fragments that come from the bedrock that has weathered. Although some of the clasts may be fragments of chemical rocks, the majority of this is sediment that has mechanically weathered.
Gravity is the primary constraining factor for mountain growth. Thus, erosion quickens the tectonic processes taking place beneath the mountains by lowering the weight of the mountain range. Because of this, erosional processes can be thought of as "sucking" crust up toward the surface and forming mountain ranges.
