The mineral composition of the conglomerate determines the grain shape as well the the type of weathering or erosive elements (wind, water, chemicals) that the rock is is exposed to because grain shape is heavily dependent upon whether the rock has been subjected to erosion or not.
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.
A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
The size of the grains or particles within the rock determines whether it is classified as shale, siltstone, sandstone, or conglomerate. Shale has very fine grains, siltstone has fine grains, sandstone has medium-sized grains, and conglomerate has large grains or pebbles. Additionally, the sorting and composition of the grains can also help differentiate between these rock types.
The grain shape of a rock is primarily determined by the rate at which the rock cooled and solidified. Rocks that cool slowly tend to have larger grains, resulting in a coarse-grained texture, while rocks that cool quickly have smaller grains, leading to a fine-grained texture. Other factors such as the mineral composition of the rock and the amount of pressure it was subjected to during formation can also influence grain shape.
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.
Conglomerate is one of two similar rocks not to be confused. The large 'grains' are rounded as a result of their formation, and indeed the formation of the rock. Conglomerate is not to be confused with Breccia, a similar rock formed in very different circumstances. Breccia fragments tend to be smaller, but most of all are always angular.

Grain shape.
The grain shape of a rock is primarily determined by the rate at which the rock cooled and solidified. Rocks that cool slowly tend to have larger grains, resulting in a coarse-grained texture, while rocks that cool quickly have smaller grains, leading to a fine-grained texture. Other factors such as the mineral composition of the rock and the amount of pressure it was subjected to during formation can also influence grain shape.
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock.
Conglomerate rocks can be many different colors... usually they have a base color of brown,black, or gray. The smaller cemented together rock fragments that are embedded in the rock may vary in size,shape, and color.
