both would be a good building material because conglomerate is mixed with water and moisture mixed which makes it easier to stick and sandstone because its above conglomerate. :]

What is finer than conglomerate but coarser than siltstone?

The rock type finer than conglomerate but coarser than siltstone is sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized grains, which are larger than the particles found in siltstone but smaller than the pebbles and cobbles in conglomerate.


How would you classify coal coral reef salt sandstone and conglomerate?

Coal and coral reef limestone are organic sediments salt is an evaporite Sandstone and conglomerate are sedimentary deposit rocks the latter from a high energy environment. They are ALL sedimentary deposits.


What rocks are a mix of rounded pebbled and sand?

Conglomerates.


From where a creek runs into a lake and out to the middle of that lake in what order would you most likely find the three basic types of clastic sedimentary rock?

In that scenario, you would most likely find the three basic types of clastic sedimentary rocks (conglomerate, sandstone, and shale) in the following order: conglomerate near the creek where larger sediment particles accumulate, sandstone in the transition zone between the creek and lake where medium-sized particles settle, and shale in the deeper parts of the lake where fine sediment particles settle.


Compaction would probably be more significant as a lithification process for shale sandstone conglomerate or breccia?

Compaction would likely be more significant as a lithification process for shale and sandstone due to their fine-grained composition, which is conducive to compaction. Conglomerate and breccia are coarser and have less room for compaction due to their larger grain sizes and irregular packing.


Is sandstone hard rock or soft rock?

That would depend on what the cementing material is and how densely it is compacted.


Would Mount Rushmore be easier to carve in sandstone?

No, Mount Rushmore is carved in granite, which is a harder and more durable type of rock than sandstone. Sandstone is much softer and would erode more quickly, making it a less suitable material for such a carving.


Examples of lithified sediment?

Some examples of lithified sediment are sandstone, shale, and limestone. Sandstone forms from grains of sand compacted together over time, while shale is formed from compacted clay and silt particles. Limestone is made predominantly of calcite that has accumulated and solidified in marine environments.


What are Bits and pieces of rocks clumped together called?

A clump. Unless they have undergone compaction and cementation in a process known as lithification. Then they would be classified as a sedimentary rock, maybe conglomerate, breccia, or sandstone.


Explain how pieces of granite and slate could found in the same piece of conglomerate?

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 is conglomerous?

Conglomerate is when several smaller groups come together to make one large grouping. This word is commonly used in several fields. In geology, puddingstone is a conglomerate rock. It is one rock, made from many pebbles, and cemented together by a finer material. A business conglomerate would involve several smaller businesses uniting to create a corperation. In sociology, a suburban conglomerate would bring several cultures together to create a unique community. Example sentence: Her patchwork quilt was a conglomerate of different materials.


What would happen to the sandstone as the water froze and expanded?

As the water froze and expanded, it would exert pressure on the surrounding sandstone. This pressure could cause the sandstone to crack or fracture, as the ice expands and pushes against the rock material. Over time, repeated freezing and thawing cycles can lead to weathering and erosion of the sandstone.
