Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that is composed of sever host rocks. These host rocks could be from very different environments, and from very far away. That is how you get two very different rocks within one conglomerate. the heat smelts them together

What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
How is age of pebbles within a conglomerate related to the age of the conglomerate?
The pebbles are older because the conglomerate could not form without the pebbles.
What shape is the conglomerate rock?
Conglomerate rock could be any shape or size, but the rocks contained within the conglomerate rock are rounded or smoothed.
How could you separate wood chips and pieces of granite rock?
Burn the wood chips. Alternatively, shake them around for a little while, the granite is heavier and would settle to the bottom, so you could remove the wood from the top, this isn't 100% effective, but it's more effective than setting it on fire. This can be accomplished by shoveling the mixture into water (a wheelbarrow, a buck, some other large container). The chips float and can be skimmed off. The granite sinks and can be shoveled out later.
What sedimentary clastic rock has different sized rock fragments?
Could be conglomerate or breccia, depending on whether or not the clasts are rounded or angular.
How could peices of gness granite and basalt all be found in one conglomerate?
it goes through the rock cycle together
What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?
Gneiss turns into granite. Though it comes from shale."GNEISS can turn to migmatite and then totally recrystallize into granite."
What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.

What type of rock could make carving chess pieces?

Could igneous granite float?
No, but pumice can.
Who could granite enter maga?
by melting
What color is a igneous rock?
It could be Granite.
What minerals are in conglomerate?
Practically anything can be in conglomerate. Conglomerates that might be forming today could even contain metals like steel, aluminum, gold jewelry or plastics and other synthetic materials; of course these conglomerates will not become solid rock for millions of years.
Can you make granite?
I guess you could but it would be really really hard. Nature should be the one to make Granite, not you.
Do conglomerate have foliation?
With a good eye you maybe could see one but usually they do not exhibit a foliation.
