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.
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 the process of egg formation called?
The process of an egg formation is called ogenesis.
The process of meiosis never results in the formation of a?
The process of meiosis never results in the formation of a Diploid.
What is the formation process of zirconium?
The S-process.
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.
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 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 process could lead directly to the formation of pumice rock?
The process that could directly lead to the formation of pumice rock is volcanice eruptions (explosive eruption of lava from a volcano).
During which process does water change from a gas directly to a solid?
the fun on the sun THE FORMATION OF FROST
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.
Which process could lead directly to the formation of a pumice rock?
Explosive eruption of lava from a volcano
Which processes result directly in the formation of cells with half the amount of genetic material that is characteristic of the species?
Process 4 and 2
What is the process of crystallation?
According to WIKIPEDIA, "Crystallization is the (natural or artificial) process of formation of solid crystals precipitating from a solution, melt or more rarely deposited directly from a gas."
Is conglomerate a organic sedimentary rocks?
