No. Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.

What is the three major rock groups of conglomerate?
Conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock, which is one of the three major rock groups, alongside igneous and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks, including conglomerates, are formed from the accumulation and cementation of mineral and organic particles. Conglomerate specifically consists of rounded clasts larger than 2 millimeters in diameter, cemented together by finer-grained materials. The other two major rock groups, igneous and metamorphic, are formed through processes involving cooling and solidification of magma or alteration of existing rocks under heat and pressure, respectively.
What is conglomerate's nickname?
A conglomerate is often referred to simply as a "conglomerate."
What is granite in sedimentary form?
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.
What is the color of conglomerate?
Conglomerate is a whitish with grey rock.
What type of sedimentary rock is conglomerate?
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.
Is conglomerate igneous?
it is sedimentary
Is a conglomerate a igneous rock?
no it is a sedimentary rock
Is a meta conglomerate a metamorphic igneous or a sedimentary?
It is a metamorphic rock formed from a progenitor sedimentary rock called a "conglomerate".
Is conglomerate a igneous rock metamorphic rock or sedimentary rock?
A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
Is conglomerate an igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Is conglomerate intrusive or extrusive?
Neither. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock. Intrusive and extrusive are descriptive terms used to classify igneous rocks.
Is metaconglomerate an igneous rock?
No, metaconglomerate is a metamorphic rock, hence the "meta-" addition in front of the usually sedimentary rock conglomerate.
What types of rock's form on the earth's surface?
Sedimentary and conglomerate, as igneous and metamorphic are both formed underground where there is a high pressure and temperature.
Which rocks has two different size grains of the same mineral?
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.
Are volcanic rocks sedimentary?
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.
What is the difference between Conglomerate and Granite?
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.
What type of rock is created from sedimentary or igneous?
Conglomerate, Sandstone, Shale, Coal Seams, Limestone and Gypsum rock are Sedimentary rocks, while Granodiorite, Granite, Syenite, Diorite, Gabbro, Peridotite and Dunite are Igneous rocks.
