The length of time that the sediments that compose the rocks are eroded causes the sediments in a conglomerate to become rounded.

Which two process lead directly to the formation of breccia and conglomerate?
compaction and cementation
Is conglomerate a organic sedimentary rocks?
No because Conglomerate is made by sediments that are eroded by other rock or by dead plants and animals. The sediments are pushed or smooshed together by the pressuer sitting on top of it. This process is called compacton. This process turns the sediments into clasti sedimentry rocks. So Conglomerate is a clastic sedimantary rock.
What is it called when sediment becomes rock?
The weathering, erosion, and deposition of the rock rhyolite could result in the compaction and cementation into sedimentary rock of different types: breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone, or shale. Which type depends on the degree of weathering and the distance from the point of origin of the original rhyolite.
Is a calcite a sedimentary rock?
Yes i Believe it is.
What process forms sedimentary rock?
sedimentary rock is formed by the rock cycle
Which two process lead directly to the formation of breccia and conglomerate?
compaction and cementation
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
What are Bits and pieces of rocks clumped together called?
A clump. Unless they have undergone compaction and cementation in a process known as lithification. Then they would be classified as a sedimentary rock, maybe conglomerate, breccia, or sandstone.
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock pieces are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
Which types of rocks are created by the cementation process?
They are known as Conglomerate.

What are rocks made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediment called?
The process is called 'lithification'. ----------------------------------------------------------- Another word you could use is 'diagenesis' which is any chemical, physical, or biological change undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition and during and after its lithification. ----------------------------------------------------------- The combined process of, accumulation, stratification, sedimentation, compaction, cementation, and lithification, of deposited materials and detritus to form sedimentary rocks is called diagenesis.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
Compaction would probably be more significant as a lithification process for shale sandstone conglomerate or breccia?
Shale, because sand and other coarse sediments compress little.
What type of rock is formed by the process of erosion deposition compaction and cementation?
Sedimentary Rocks. For Example, Sandstone and Conglomerate.
Is a calcite a sedimentary rock?
Yes i Believe it is.
