What does CLAST mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A fragment of rock or mineral produced when a larger rock breaks down.
A clast can range from a fine grain of sand to a boulder, and geologists classify it by size when describing sediment or a rock made of older broken pieces. Rock built mostly of cemented clasts is called clastic, a term used across sedimentology. The word helps scientists talk about erosion and deposition without naming a specific size.
