conglomerate
This type of rock is called conglomerate. It forms when pebbles are compacted and cemented together by other sediments, typically in a river or beach environment. Conglomerate rocks are characterized by their rounded pebbles and varying sizes of sediment grains.
If the pebbles are rounded, then the rock is a conglomerate. If the pebbles have sharper edges, the the rock is a breccia. Both are types of sedimentary rock.
This process is called sedimentation or lithification. Sedimentation occurs when small pieces of rocks (sediments) are deposited in layers, and lithification is the process by which sediments are compressed and cemented together by dissolved minerals to form sedimentary rocks.
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.
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.

Pebble conglomerate is rock that is made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments.
This type of rock is called conglomerate. It forms when pebbles are compacted and cemented together by other sediments, typically in a river or beach environment. Conglomerate rocks are characterized by their rounded pebbles and varying sizes of sediment grains.
If the pebbles are rounded, then the rock is a conglomerate. If the pebbles have sharper edges, the the rock is a breccia. Both are types of sedimentary rock.
Rocks made of other rock fragments cemented together are called sedimentary rocks. These rocks form through the deposition and solidification of sediments, such as sand, clay, and pebbles, that have been compacted and cemented together over time.
It is a sedimentary rock, made from the sediments of other rocks...igneous or metamorphic, cemented together.
This process is called sedimentation or lithification. Sedimentation occurs when small pieces of rocks (sediments) are deposited in layers, and lithification is the process by which sediments are compressed and cemented together by dissolved minerals to form sedimentary rocks.
Conglomerates form from clastic sediments which are products of weathering, so, conglomeratic materials could be formed from any other rock type. Conglomerate itself is an Example of Mechanically formed Sedimentary Rock.

Pressure of water and other sediments.
The heaviest sediments like sand, small pebbles, and other detritus drop out of the current first. Lighter sediments like like silt are carried farther out.
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
