Hi there,
a conglomerate is actually a crock where the dominant grain size is larger than a certain size. From memory it is 5mm.
A conglomerate can be made from any mineral assemblage.

No, a conglomerate is not a biochemical. A conglomerate is a geological term referring to a rock made up of different kinds of minerals and rock fragments. Biochemicals, on the other hand, are chemicals produced by living organisms.
I think it's called a rock. Maybe a conglomerate.
No, a conglomerate is not a mineral. A conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of rounded pebbles and larger rock fragments that are cemented together. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made up of tiny rounded pebbles cemented together by sediments that pile on top of them. The pebbles become cemented together by minerals like silica, calcite, and iron oxides.
Oh, dude, Conglomerate isn't actually a mineral, it's a rock made up of different minerals all squished together like a messy sandwich. So, it doesn't have a specific place on the Mohs Scale, which is all about ranking the hardness of minerals. It's like trying to compare apples to, well, a rock sandwich.
All different kinds, usually quartz.
A conglomerate.
Conglomerate or Breccia. You'd have to specify the shape of the fragments and types of minerals.
conglomerate is used for construction and polished to make ornaments
Conglomerate
Conglomerate is generally considered a permeable rock, meaning it can allow fluids, such as water or oil, to pass through its pores and spaces between the clasts (rocks or minerals) that make up the rock. However, the degree of permeability can vary depending on factors like the size of the clasts, the amount of cementing material, and the overall porosity of the rock. In some cases, if a conglomerate is heavily cemented, it could exhibit lower permeability.
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.
