No. Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
A conglomerate is often referred to simply as a "conglomerate."
Conglomerate is a whitish with grey rock.
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It is not typically found in sedimentary form as it is predominantly composed of interlocking crystals of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Sedimentary rocks, on the other hand, are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments like sand, clay, and organic material.
Conglomerate rocks can vary in size, ranging from pebble-sized particles to larger boulders. The size of the particles in a conglomerate rock depends on the transportation distance and energy of the environment in which they were deposited.
Yes, conglomerate is a sedimentary rock! It's a lithified mix of clasts, generally rounded to some degree, in a finer silt or sand matrix, all formed from deposits of the weathering products of earlier, often (but not exclusively) igneous, rock. If the clasts are coarse and angular the rock is a breccia.
it is sedimentary
no it is a sedimentary rock
It is a metamorphic rock formed from a progenitor sedimentary rock called a "conglomerate".
A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Neither. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock. Intrusive and extrusive are descriptive terms used to classify igneous rocks.
No, metaconglomerate is a metamorphic rock, hence the "meta-" addition in front of the usually sedimentary rock conglomerate.
Sedimentary and conglomerate, as igneous and metamorphic are both formed underground where there is a high pressure and temperature.
Pegmatite is a type of igneous rock that can have two different grain sizes of the same mineral present. This is due to the slow cooling process of the magma, allowing for the growth of large crystals (phenocrysts) within a finer-grained matrix.
No. Volcanic rocks are igneous (although not all igneous rocks are volcanic). Sedimentary rocks are made of sediment naturally cemented together. However, volcanic (or extrusive igneous) rocks can be eroded into sediment, which can be cemented, compacted, or otherwise become sedimentary rock such as sandstone or conglomerate. It is then not considered igneous.
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock formed from the cooling and solidifying of felsic magma at depth within the Earth's crust. Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock formed from pre-existing rock particles which have been transported and deposited, then compacted and cemented together.
Conglomerate, Sandstone, Shale, Coal Seams, Limestone and Gypsum rock are Sedimentary rocks, while Granodiorite, Granite, Syenite, Diorite, Gabbro, Peridotite and Dunite are Igneous rocks.
