Portland Cement is mixed with washed sand at a ratio of about
six to one, ie six parts sand to one part cement to make "mortar" for use with building brick or block sructures. It is mixed at a ratio of about ten to twelve percent cement, ten to fifteen percent water and roughly seventy-five percent aggregate, sand, gravel or other additives. dmc101207

Is pebbles a mixture or compound?
There is not enough information given to unambiguously answer the question.A "pebble" is a small piece of rock. What KIND of rock? It matters. Is it a brimstone pebble? Then it's an element. Is it a limestone pebble? Then it's a compound. Is it a granite pebble? Then it's a mixture.
What type of rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together. This happens through a process called lithification where sediments are compacted and cemented together over time. Sandstone and conglomerate are examples of sedimentary rocks formed in this way.
What is it called when rock forms of small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by disolved mineral material?
This process is called sedimentation or lithification. Sedimentation occurs when small pieces of rocks (sediments) are deposited in layers, and lithification is the process by which sediments are compressed and cemented together by dissolved minerals to form sedimentary rocks.
What rock is light Brown small sand sized pieces of quartz cemented together in layers?
The rock you are describing is likely sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of small sand-sized particles of quartz that are cemented together by other minerals, forming distinct layers. It typically has a light brown color due to the presence of iron oxide or other impurities.
What kind of rock forms when small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by dissolved mineral material?
Sedimentary rock, specifically a type known as conglomerate, is formed when small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and cemented together by dissolved mineral material. This process can result in a rock with a varied composition and appearance due to the assortment of rock fragments present.
What are small rounded stones that have been cemented together called?
egg rocks we have them in front garden!
What stone mixture sand and small pebbles is comneted together to form it?
limestone
What is sedimentary rock called composed of older fragments of rock?
Sedimentary rock composed of older fragments of rock is called a conglomerate. This type of rock forms when pebbles and small stones are cemented together.

How do you separate grit from small pebbles?
One effective way to separate grit from small pebbles is to use a sieve or a screen with appropriately sized holes. Pour the mixture onto the sieve or screen and shake it gently so that the small pebbles remain on top while the finer grit falls through. Alternatively, you can also use water to separate them by pouring the mixture into water and allowing the grit to sink to the bottom while the pebbles float.

Are pebbles compounds?
No, pebbles are not compounds. Pebbles are small stones or rock fragments that are typically made up of a single mineral or material like quartz, basalt, or limestone. They are composed of a single substance, not a combination of different elements like compounds.
What type of rock forms when small grains of rock are pressed together and become cemented?
Sedimentary rock forms when small grains of rock, such as sand or clay, are compressed and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rock include sandstone and shale.
How do they pebble dash walls?
You use a slurry mixture of lime and cement mixed with sand and small gravel. Throw this mixture at the wall with a trowel or scoop and add stones or pebbles on top.
Rock forms when small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by dissolved material?
sedimentary rock
What are small rocks named?
Pebbles? I think you could call them pebbles.
