A rock composed of sharp, angular pebbles is typically classified as a type of conglomerate known as "breccia." Breccia forms from the cementation of larger, angular fragments, which have not been significantly weathered or transported, allowing them to maintain their sharp edges. This rock type often indicates a high-energy environment where the fragments are deposited, such as near a fault zone or in a landslide.

What are a mix of of sharp angular pebbles?
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.
Conglomerates form from what kind of rock?
Conglomerates form from clastic sediments which are products of weathering, so, conglomeratic materials could be formed from any other rock type. Conglomerate itself is an Example of Mechanically formed Sedimentary Rock.
What type of rocks would you expect to find at the mouth of a river?
At the mouth of a river, you would expect to find a mix of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone, siltstone, and shale, that have been eroded and transported by the river. You may also find some rounded pebbles or cobbles made of harder rock types that have been carried downstream. Additionally, there could be some deposited sediments like sand and gravel.
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.
What are three varieties of igneous metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten material, while metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure. However, it seems there is a mix-up in terminology. Instead, I can provide examples of three types of igneous rocks: granite, basalt, and pumice. For metamorphic rocks, examples include schist, gneiss, and marble.
What rocks are a mix of sharp angular pebbles?
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.
What rocks are a mix of sharp agular pebbles?

Which rocks are a mix of rounded pebbles and sand?
Conglomerates.
What rocks are a mix of rounded pebbels and sand?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when flowing water deposits sediment. They tend to have a rounded shape, because the flowing water smooths out their shape.
Sedimentary rocks that are made up of large pebbles and stones have a coarse-grained?
texture. These rocks, known as conglomerates, form when the sediments are transported and deposited by water or gravity, resulting in a mix of different sized particles. The large pebbles and stones in conglomerates give them a visibly coarse appearance.
Is sand mixed with mortar mix for laying concrete blocks?
Not just any sand. Mortar sand. Mortar sand is a larger grain sand that has been washed and screened to remove any rocks or pebbles.
Conglomerates form from what kind of rock?
Conglomerates form from clastic sediments which are products of weathering, so, conglomeratic materials could be formed from any other rock type. Conglomerate itself is an Example of Mechanically formed Sedimentary Rock.
What does breccia look like?
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.
What will happen if pebbles and sand mix together?
gravel forms
How different rocks are formed?
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.
What to mix with glenfiddich?
Just Dont Mix anything with it . On the Rocks . If your a starter may be Diet Coke but best is not to Mix it with anything,
