What type of sedimentary rock is breccia?
it is clastic
Which describes breccia?
A. a clastic sedimentary rock with angular particles B. a chemical sedimentary rock C. a biochemical sedimentary rock D. a clastic sedimentary rock with large, rounded particles answer is a
Is breccia a clastic rock?
a clastic sedimentary rock. That's because organic are made up of remains, and chemical are made up of the water cycle, like precipitation etc. research what's a clastic rock and you'll find out. research some info about breccia and you'll se why. I guess you don't wanna research, but its better so that you understand it better than me telling you. hope that's right. luck.
What kind of rock indicates the short-distance transport of sediment?
The sedimentary rock breccia indicates short distance transport of sediments because the rock fragments that make it up are still angular and not rounded from abrasion.
What are a mix of of sharp angular pebbles?
A sedimentary rock called "breccia". The sharp angular pebbles making up the breccia could be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Breccias generally form close to the point of origin of the clast rock, having less time to round those sharp angular edges.
To what class of sedimentary rocks does Breccia belong to?
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What type of sedimentary rock is breccia?
it is clastic
How can a sedimentary rock become a breccias?
Firstly, a breccia is itself a kind of sedimentary rock. It consists mainly of large (pea sized and up), angular sediment grains. For an existing sedimentary rock to become a breccia, it must be weathered into fragments, redeposited elsewhere, and buried to sufficient pressure for the sediment to become rock.
What is the sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together?
Breccia
Is the rock breccia a clastic rock?
Breccias are a relatively common clastic sedimentary rock.
What sedimentary rock is made of large angular pieces of sediments?
Breccia.
What sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments with sharp edges?
breccia
Which inorganic sedimentary rock has the biggest size sediments?
Breccia.

What kind of rock is breccia?
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.
What sedimentary rock is found to characterize the active continental margin?
Breccia.
What best describes Breccia?
A clastic sedimentary rock with angular particles.
