They are classified as clastic sedimentary rocks.
A sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together is called a conglomerate. This rock is composed of rounded fragments that have been cemented together by a finer material, such as sand or mud.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of pre-existing sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock that are deposited, compacted, and cemented together by natural processes.Clastic sedimentary rock is made of fragments of rocks cemented together by a mineral such as calcite or quartz.
conglomerate
Sedimentary rocks are formed when fragments of rocks, minerals, and organic matter are compacted and cemented together over time. The fragments can be glued together by minerals like calcite, silica, and iron oxide that act as a natural "glue" to bind the particles together. This cementing process creates a solid rock mass from the loose sediment.
The type of rock made by layers of small pieces of rocks and minerals cemented together is called sedimentary rock. These rocks form through the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic materials. Common examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale. Their layered appearance often reflects the history of sediment deposition over time.
Conglomerate
Breccia is a sedimentary rock composed of angular fragments of other rocks cemented together. It forms when fragments are compacted and cemented together by minerals, creating a mosaic-like appearance. Breccia can consist of a variety of rock types depending on the environment in which it formed.
Sedimentary rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together. This happens through a process called lithification where sediments are compacted and cemented together over time. Sandstone and conglomerate are examples of sedimentary rocks formed in this way.
Sedimentary rocks composed of older rocks are called "conglomerate" or "breccia." These rocks form when fragments of older rocks are compacted and cemented together to create a new rock.
A sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together is called a conglomerate. This rock is composed of rounded fragments that have been cemented together by a finer material, such as sand or mud.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of fragments from rocks, minerals, and shells. These fragments, called clasts, are compacted and cemented together over time to form rocks like sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Breccia refers to a rock that is composed of the broken fragments of the rocks or minerals that have been cemented together. The broken fragments of the rocks or minerals are usually cemented together to form a fine grained matrix.
Conglomerates are among the group called clasticsedimentary rocks, those that are formed of cemented particles of other rock particles.
A sedimentary rock is formed when rock fragments are compacted and cemented together by pressure and minerals. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
This type of rock is called conglomerate. It forms when pebbles are compacted and cemented together by other sediments, typically in a river or beach environment. Conglomerate rocks are characterized by their rounded pebbles and varying sizes of sediment grains.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of fragments of pre-existing rocks that have been transported and deposited by water, wind, or ice. These fragments, called clasts, are typically cemented together by mineral material to create the rock.
Fragmental sedimentary rocks are formed from rock fragments, such as sand, gravel or clay. These fragments become cemented together because of pressure and other chemical reactions.
