👉 The term "hydroclastic" in geology refers to a type of sedimentary rock that is formed by rapid, violent collapse or disintegration. This process can occur due to various factors such as weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity.

They are generally found in areas where there is a strong deformational stress or
