In your own words compare the grain size shape and pattern of the conglomerate and breccia?
Conglomerate and breccia are both types of sedimentary rocks that consist of larger clasts, but they differ in grain size, shape, and pattern. Conglomerate is characterized by rounded clasts, indicating they have been transported over long distances by water, while breccia features angular clasts, suggesting minimal transport and a more local origin. The grain size in both rocks can vary, but conglomerate typically has larger, more varied-sized grains, whereas breccia may contain more uniform-sized fragments. The overall pattern in conglomerate tends to be more cohesive and less chaotic compared to the more disordered arrangement often seen in breccia.

Which layers are composed of sediments of the largest grain size?
The top layer, known as the topsoil, is composed of the largest grain size sediments in soil. These sediments consist of sand, silt, and clay particles that have undergone weathering processes and accumulated on the Earth's surface.
What is conglomerate's nickname?

What minerals make up conglomerate?
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. www.aapg.org is a good place to find out more
What determines the grain shape of a rock such as conglomerate?
The mineral composition of the conglomerate determines the grain shape as well the the type of weathering or erosive elements (wind, water, chemicals) that the rock is is exposed to because grain shape is heavily dependent upon whether the rock has been subjected to erosion or not.
What is the grain shape of a rock such as conglomerate?
Conglomerate is one of two similar rocks not to be confused. The large 'grains' are rounded as a result of their formation, and indeed the formation of the rock. Conglomerate is not to be confused with Breccia, a similar rock formed in very different circumstances. Breccia fragments tend to be smaller, but most of all are always angular.
Where does conglomerate belong from the group of rocks?
Conglomerates tend to be used for decoration. Many conglomerates are polished and displayed in buildings or on jewelry.
