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

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.


How is age of pebbles within a conglomerate related to the age of the conglomerate?

The age of pebbles within a conglomerate can provide a maximum age for the conglomerate itself, as the pebbles must be older than the conglomerate they are found in. However, the pebbles may not necessarily represent the exact age of the conglomerate, as they could have been eroded from older formations and incorporated into a younger conglomerate.


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 shape is the conglomerate rock?

Conglomerate rocks have a clastic sedimentary texture, meaning they are composed of rounded or angular rock fragments cemented together. These rock fragments can vary in size, creating a texture that resembles a cobblestone street.


Examples of permeable and impermeable rocks?

Permeable rocks: sandstone, limestone, and conglomerate. These rocks have interconnected pores that allow water and other fluids to flow through them. Impermeable rocks: granite, basalt, and shale. These rocks have very few or no pores, making them resistant to the movement of water and fluids.

What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?

Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma. It does not directly turn into a sedimentary rock through metamorphism. Instead, it can be weathered and eroded to form sediment, which may then become sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation processes.

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.
