Is a meta conglomerate a metamorphic igneous or a sedimentary?
It is a metamorphic rock formed from a progenitor sedimentary rock called a "conglomerate".
What type of rock is a Quartz conglomerate?
A metamorphic rock
Is conglomerate rock is metamorphic rocks?
No, it's a sedimentary rock
Is conglomerate a igneous rock metamorphic rock or sedimentary rock?
A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
What type of rock is meta-conglomerate?
the meta conglomerate is a metamorphic rock it's mineral composition is from quartz & it has a non- foliated texture, it's formed via temprature (the agent of metamorphism) & the type of metamorphism is said to be "thermal" & the pre-metamorphic rock is conglomerate.
What rock is formed when conglomerate is transformed to metamorphic rock?
It is called metaconglomerate.
Is conglomerate an igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Is metaconglomerate an igneous rock?
No, metaconglomerate is a metamorphic rock, hence the "meta-" addition in front of the usually sedimentary rock conglomerate.
What type of rock is made of lots of small rocks?
A metamorphic rock. I believe a conglomerate rock is more fitting here.
What is the protolith of meta conglomerate?
The protolith of metaconglomerate is a sedimentary rock called conglomerate. Conglomerate is composed of rounded gravel-sized clasts that are cemented together. Through the process of metamorphism, this sedimentary rock undergoes changes in temperature and pressure to form metaconglomerate.
What is the difference between conglomerate and gneiss?
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock that has rounded pebbles included among its clasts. Gneiss is a high-grade foliate metamorphic rock characterized by alternating light and dark bands. It forms from the metamorphism of granite or schist.
What part of the sedimentary of rock is the oldest?
Protolith is a term used to describe the parent rock of a metamorphic rock. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that can be composed of clasts of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks, or any number of combinations of all.
