Breccia is a type of sedimentary rock characterized by its angular fragments that are cemented together by a matrix of finer materials. The fragments, or clasts, can vary in size and composition, often consisting of larger pieces of rock or mineral that are surrounded by a finer-grained material. The matrix may include sand, silt, or clay, which fills the gaps between the larger clasts. Breccia typically forms in environments where rapid deposition occurs, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, or in fault zones.
