Can conglomerate transform into sandstone?

a deposit can change laterally, so it might be deposited a conglomerate upstream and further downstream a sandstone, but once it is deposited it cannot be transformed unless it is subject to heat and/or pressure, it will then be a metamorphic rock. If the river is in retrograde then the deposit will grade upwards from a conglomerate to a sandstone


Where does metaconglomerate get its name?

Metaconglomerate gets its name from its composition and formation process. It is a type of metamorphic rock that originates from conglomerate, which consists of rounded clasts or gravel-sized particles. During metamorphism, the original conglomerate undergoes changes due to heat and pressure, resulting in the recrystallization of the clasts and the surrounding matrix, thus earning it the prefix "meta-" which means "change" in Greek. The term reflects its origin as a transformed version of conglomerate rock.


What do heat and pressure change shale to?

Heat and pressure change shale into metamorphic rock, specifically slate when exposed to low to moderate levels of heat and pressure, and then further into phyllite, schist, and gneiss as the intensity of heat and pressure increases.


What special name is given to a heat change at constant pressure?

A heat change at constant pressure is called enthalpy change, often denoted as ΔH. It represents the change in total heat content of a system during a process occurring at constant pressure.
