You will find that all rocks in nature are divided into layers known as strata, where each rock bed consists of a different rock. All rocks exist in strata, even if other strata are not visible.

If you meant 'Do conglomerate rocks have layers within them?"; the formation of conglomerate means that there is no sorting or stratification, though the contained fragments are rounded. Therefore we can conclude that naturally and left to its own devices, conglomerate does not have layers.

Alternatively, a joint in the rock may give the impression of a layer division as the pattern is offset and erratic. However, this is not to be confused with any layers that a different rock type may contain, as this is due the stress exerted on the rock, forcing the weakest lines to split.

Where you can find conglomerate?

Conglomerate rocks are sedimentary rocks; they settle at bottoms of the rivers, lakes, and oceans in deposited layers.


What causes crystalline layers through conglomerate rocks these layers cut through individual rocks?

The conglomerate must have been subjected to stresses sufficient to cause fracture in the individual rocks making up the conglomerate. The cracks were then infilled by minerals precipitating from fluids which were migrating through the rock.


Rocks that have layers or clasts were formed by what?

Rocks that have layers or clasts are typically formed through deposition and compaction of sediments. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone or shale are created when layers of sediment are compressed over time, while conglomerate rocks with visible clasts are formed from the cementation of rounded rock fragments.


What are rocks that are formed of pieces of other rocks?

Conglomerate


What rocks are made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments?

conglomerate


Are conglomerate rocks heavy?

Conglomerate rocks can vary in weight depending on factors like composition and size of the clasts within it. Generally speaking, conglomerate rocks can be heavier than rocks of similar size due to the presence of larger, denser clasts.


Is conglomerate a clastic rock?

No, conglomerate is a sedimentary rock composed of rounded rock fragments cemented together. Clastic rocks are composed of individual grains or fragments of minerals or rocks that have been compacted and cemented together.


What sedimentary rocks are made of fragments of rocks minerals and shells?

Sedimentary rocks made from fragments of rocks, minerals, and shells are known as clastic sedimentary rocks. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. These rocks form when pre-existing rocks are weathered, eroded, transported, and deposited in layers.


What rock forms when small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by dissolve mineral material?
