Which two processes lead directly to the formation of both breccia and conglomerate?
Compaction and cementation.
Which two process lead directly to the formation of breccia and conglomerate?
compaction and cementation
Is a conglomerate rock containing sharp and anular fragments?
No, a conglomerate rock wil have rounded pebbles while a breccia will have angular grains.
What are some examples of sedimatary rocks?
Shale, Sandstone, Conglomerate, Limestone, Breccia, Siltstone
Is conglomerate made of large angular pieces of sediments?
No, conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock made up of rounded gravel-sized particles. The particles in conglomerate are typically larger than sand grains and are often well-rounded due to the transportation and deposition processes that occur before the rock forms.

What is the grain shape of a rock such as conglomerate?
Conglomerate is one of two similar rocks not to be confused. The large 'grains' are rounded as a result of their formation, and indeed the formation of the rock. Conglomerate is not to be confused with Breccia, a similar rock formed in very different circumstances. Breccia fragments tend to be smaller, but most of all are always angular.
What is lithofication?
It is compaction and cementing.
Why is concreat not a rock?
Concrete is a man-made conglomerate or breccia.
Give a example of detrial rock?
Breccia and conglomerate are detrial.
What is a conglomerate rock that contains sharp and angular fragments?
Breccia

What one sedimentary process makes conglomerate and breccia rocks different?
The length of time that the sediments that compose the rocks are eroded causes the sediments in a conglomerate to become rounded.
The difference between conglomerate and sandstone?
A sandstone is comprised primarily of small, rounded grains (typically <1mm in diameter) of quartz, feldspars, and other lithic fragments. A conglomerate is comprised of a mixture of larger rounded grains (>2mm diameter) that have been cemeted together and can be made up of a combination of any minerals. The main difference is the grain size; conglomerates can have large clasts and are poorly sorted whereas sandstones are well sorted and contain only small grains.
