  • Coarse-Grained Sedimentary Rocks: Definition & Examples
    That's right! Sedimentary rocks made up of large pebbles and stones are considered coarse-grained.

    Here's why:

    * Grain Size: The term "grain" in geology refers to the individual particles that make up a rock.

    * Coarse-Grained: This means the grains are large and easily visible to the naked eye. Examples include pebbles, gravel, and even boulders.

    Examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks:

    * Conglomerate: Made up of rounded pebbles and stones cemented together.

    * Breccia: Similar to conglomerate, but the pebbles and stones are angular and have sharp edges.
