What does cleavage mean in science?
Cleavage is the cracks in rocks and the texture!
Is cleavage splitting of rocks in definite surfaces?
Cleavage is the splitting of rocks or minerals along defined surfaces.

What are facts about conglomerate?
conglomerate is made up of smaller rocks and grains. the way conglomerate is formed is when rocks and grains come together under the earths surface and gravity cements it together.
Is conglomerate a clastic rock?
No. Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What is more common a cleavage or fracture?
they both show how rocks break
