hey i want to know where breccia rocks can be found in the us for my science homework. can someone please help?
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock composed of various sized visible pieces of other rock, cemented together by the processes of lithification. The pieces of rock that are visible are angular fragments, meaning they have somewhat jagged edges. This means that the fragments in the breccia did not travel far before they were deposited. If they had traveled longer and further they would have become rounded, in which case the resulting sedimentary rock would have been called conglomerate.
Breccia can have varying levels of hardness depending on the composition of the rock fragments and the cementing material holding them together. Generally, breccia is considered to be moderately hard to hard.
another name for moon soil. breccia. a kind of rock found on the moon that is made up of older rocks stuck together.
a clastic sedimentary rock. That's because organic are made up of remains, and chemical are made up of the water cycle, like precipitation etc. research what's a clastic rock and you'll find out. research some info about breccia and you'll se why. I guess you don't wanna research, but its better so that you understand it better than me telling you. hope that's right. luck.
Shale, sandstone, and breccia are all types of sedimentary rocks formed from the accumulation of sediment particles. They have varying sizes of sediment grains which can range from clay-sized particles (shale) to sand-sized grains (sandstone) to angular rock fragments (breccia). Additionally, all three rock types can be found in layers or strata due to their sedimentary origins.

Lunar breccia.
Breccia is a type of rock found on the moon that consists of older rocks cemented together. It often forms as a result of impact events that shatter and mix different types of rock fragments before solidifying again.
Breccia is typically a nonfoliated rock, meaning that it lacks the aligned mineral grains or bands characteristic of foliated rocks. Breccia forms from the cementation of broken rock fragments, giving it a distinct angular appearance.
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock with large angular fragments cemented in a finer matrix.
Breccia
Breccia is a type of rock found on the Moon that is made up of older rocks stuck together. It forms from the impact of meteorites or other celestial bodies striking the lunar surface and fusing rocks and soil together.
Breccias are a relatively common clastic sedimentary rock.
This type of sedimentary rock is called breccia. Breccia is characterized by its angular-shaped pebbles and fragments that are cemented together by a matrix of smaller particles. It is commonly found in areas where there has been significant tectonic activity or mass wasting processes.
