Conglomerate Rock.
What else can I help you with?
What is the parent rock of metaconglomerate?
Conglomerate Rock.
What rock group does metaconglomerate belong to?
Metaconglomerate is a "metamorphic" rock whose parent rock type was a sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is metaconglomerate?
Metaconglomerate is a metamorphis rock! :)
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 scientific name for metaconglomerate rock?
Metamorphosed sedimentary conglomerate is referred to as metaconglomerate.
What is the original name of metaconglomerate?
"Metaconglomerate" is the name given to a conglomerate after undergoing metamorphism.
Is metaconglomerate an igneous rock?
No, metaconglomerate is a metamorphic rock, hence the "meta-" addition in front of the usually sedimentary rock conglomerate.
What does conglomerate change into after heat and pressure?
Metaconglomerate.
Is metaconglomerate foliated or non-foliated?
Metaconglomerate is classified as a non-foliated metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of conglomerate rock, where the large clasts remain distinct and do not align in a preferred orientation, which is characteristic of foliation. As a result, metaconglomerate typically exhibits a more granular texture without the layered appearance found in foliated rocks.
What rock is formed when conglomerate is transformed to metamorphic rock?
It is called metaconglomerate.
What rock types are mineral rocks?
Granite, quartzite, marble, metaconglomerate, and many more rocks just to name a few. :-D
What are the physical properties of metaconglomerate rocks?
Metaconglomerate rocks are metamorphic rocks that form from the recrystallization of conglomerate rocks under high heat and pressure. They typically have a banded appearance due to the reorientation of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Metaconglomerates often have a medium to coarse grain size and exhibit strong foliation due to the alignment of mineral grains during metamorphism.
