Answer:

Chemical precipitates

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-clastic sedimentary rocks are the product of chemical reactions. This is not the case with clastic sedimentary rocks as these are produced by erosion.

Non-clastic rocks such as limestone are made up mostly of the calcite-rich skeletons of marine organisms. Other non-clastic rocks are formed from the precipitation of minerals in supersaturated water.
