Breccia is made up of pebbles, boulders, cobbles or gravel that are angular in shape. Conglomerate is similar to Breccia but have a rounded shape instead of angular shape.
A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
Conglomerate; a clastic sedimentary rock composed of rounded pebbles and sand cemented together.
A sedimentary rock composed of large chunks of other rocks cemented together is called a conglomerate. This rock forms when pebbles, cobbles, or boulders are transported by rivers or glaciers and later become cemented together through natural processes.
Breccia is a coarse-grained sedimentary rock that is composed of large, angular fragments.
A rock made up of angular pebbles cemented together is called a breccia. Breccias are formed through the lithification process, where loose fragments are compacted and consolidated into a coherent rock. These rocks often have a distinctive appearance due to the angular nature of the pebbles within them.
Rounded pebbles: conglomerate. Angular gravel: breccia.
A sedimentary rock called "breccia". The sharp angular pebbles making up the breccia could be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Breccias generally form close to the point of origin of the clast rock, having less time to round those sharp angular edges.

A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
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.

Conglomerate
Yes, coarse sedimentary rock can be made up of pebbles or boulders. Coarse sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of larger grains, such as pebbles and boulders, that are transported by water, ice, or wind. These larger grains are typically found in rocks like conglomerate or breccia.
