At this point they are none of the above. They are sediment. If lithified they will form sedimentary rock.
No, pebbles are not necessarily igneous rocks by default. Pebbles can be formed from a variety of rock types, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, depending on the geological processes that created them.
A sedimentary rock called "breccia". The sharp angular pebbles making up the breccia could be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Breccias generally form close to the point of origin of the clast rock, having less time to round those sharp angular edges.
No, pebbles are small, rounded fragments of rock that can be found within sedimentary rocks, but they are not considered sedimentary rocks themselves. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and solidification of sediments over time.
No, in order to be a metamorphic rock, it has to be a rock that undergoes extreme heat and pressure. What you're describing is the formation of a sedimentary rock called a limestone.
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.
No, pebbles are not necessarily igneous rocks by default. Pebbles can be formed from a variety of rock types, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, depending on the geological processes that created them.
A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
Many rapids, loads of all sizes from pebbles to boulders. igneous and metamorphic igneous and sedimentary rocks, sedimentary mud stones.
No. It's too late.Unless it gets eroded itself and eventually forms layers of sediment which may then get turned into rock.

Sedimentary rocks made up of rounded pebbles cemented together are called conglomerate rocks. These rocks typically have a coarse texture and are formed through the deposition and lithification of pebbles in a sedimentary environment.
Rocks can be formed by particles of pebbles, sand or shells creating sedimentary rocks. When molten rock cools and hardens it will form igneous rocks. When there is pressure and intense heat on rocks, they form metamorphic rocks.
No, pebbles are small, rounded fragments of rock that can be found within sedimentary rocks, but they are not considered sedimentary rocks themselves. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and solidification of sediments over time.
It's a metamorphic rock since it was formed from intense heat or pressure. Also because it was mined and sedimentary rocks have little pebbles. Lastly because igneous rocks can't be mined unless they were already on Earth's surface.
conglomerate
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock that has rounded pebbles included among its clasts. Gneiss is a high-grade foliate metamorphic rock characterized by alternating light and dark bands. It forms from the metamorphism of granite or schist.
