Metamorphosed sedimentary conglomerate is referred to as metaconglomerate.
Metaconglomerate is a metamorphis rock! :)
Metaconglomerate is a "metamorphic" rock whose parent rock type was a sedimentary rock.
No, metaconglomerate is a metamorphic rock, hence the "meta-" addition in front of the usually sedimentary rock conglomerate.
Conglomerate Rock.
Conglomerate Rock.
"Metaconglomerate" is the name given to a conglomerate after undergoing metamorphism.
It is called metaconglomerate.
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.
Granite, quartzite, marble, metaconglomerate, and many more rocks just to name a few. :-D
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.
Only organisms have scientific names. A rock is simply a rock unless it is made of a specific mineral.
Any rock that becomes molten and then solidifies underground will be classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
