Conglomerates are dominantly composed of rounded gravel and breccias are composed of dominantly angular gravel.

Conglomerate and breccia are both types of sedimentary rocks that consist of larger clasts, but they differ in grain size, shape, and pattern. Conglomerate is characterized by rounded clasts, indicating they have been transported over long distances by water, while breccia features angular clasts, suggesting minimal transport and a more local origin. The grain size in both rocks can vary, but conglomerate typically has larger, more varied-sized grains, whereas breccia may contain more uniform-sized fragments. The overall pattern in conglomerate tends to be more cohesive and less chaotic compared to the more disordered arrangement often seen in breccia.
Breccia and conglomerate are detrial.

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.
A conglomerate or a breccia. However, these rocks also have a finer-grained matrix.
Breccia.
Conglomerate rocks are formed from rounded particles, while breccia rocks are formed from angular particles. This difference in particle shape is due to the transportation and deposition processes that these sediments undergo before forming rocks.
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock with large angular fragments cemented in a finer matrix.
A sandstone is comprised primarily of small, rounded grains (typically <1mm in diameter) of quartz, feldspars, and other lithic fragments. A conglomerate is comprised of a mixture of larger rounded grains (>2mm diameter) that have been cemeted together and can be made up of a combination of any minerals. The main difference is the grain size; conglomerates can have large clasts and are poorly sorted whereas sandstones are well sorted and contain only small grains.
Conglomerate or breccia depending on the shape of the gravel.
