Where was breccia found?
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock composed of various sized visible pieces of other rock, cemented together by the processes of lithification. The pieces of rock that are visible are angular fragments, meaning they have somewhat jagged edges. This means that the fragments in the breccia did not travel far before they were deposited. If they had traveled longer and further they would have become rounded, in which case the resulting sedimentary rock would have been called conglomerate.
Is a conglomerate rock containing sharp and anular fragments?
No, a conglomerate rock wil have rounded pebbles while a breccia will have angular grains.
Does breccia fracture?
no breccia does not fracture.
What Rock seems to be made of different rocks crushed together?
These are known as cataclasites and form in the rockmasses in and around fault zones. If the clasts or fragments of differing rock types are large, then the cataclasite is termed a breccia.
What is an example of a detrital sedimentaryrock limestone breccia evaporite or chalk?
breccia
What is a conglomerate rock that contains sharp and angular fragments?
Breccia
Which is a coarse-grained clastic rock that contains angular fragments?
Conglomerate rocks are coarse grained sedimentary rocks wherein large rounded sediments are found. These rounded sediments are referred to as gravel.
What is the luster of breccia?
Breccia is rock composed of sharp-angled fragments embedded in a fine-grained matrix; luster is the shine.
What is the sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together?
Breccia
Rock consisting of angular fragments embedded in a finer matrix?
breccia
Is breccia foliated or nonfoliated?
Breccia is a rock composed of broken fragments of minerals or rock. It is mostly quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals and is not foliated.
What type of sedimentary rock is from fragments of minerals or rocks?
Conglomerate or Breccia. You'd have to specify the shape of the fragments and types of minerals.
What sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments with sharp edges?
breccia
What does breccia look like?
Breccia refers to a rock that is composed of the broken fragments of the rocks or minerals that have been cemented together. The broken fragments of the rocks or minerals are usually cemented together to form a fine grained matrix.
Is breccia foliated?
Breccia is an inorganic land-derived sedimentary rock. It is clastic (fragmental), but not foliated. Breccia is composed of mostly quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals; it may contain fragments of other rocks and minerals.
What are the uses for breccia?
A decorative stone used in countertops, building facades, and walkways.
The difference between conglomerate and sandstone?
A sandstone is comprised primarily of small, rounded grains (typically <1mm in diameter) of quartz, feldspars, and other lithic fragments. A conglomerate is comprised of a mixture of larger rounded grains (>2mm diameter) that have been cemeted together and can be made up of a combination of any minerals. The main difference is the grain size; conglomerates can have large clasts and are poorly sorted whereas sandstones are well sorted and contain only small grains.
