  • Conglomerate Rocks: Composition, Formation & Characteristics
    A sedimentary rock made up of fragments with rounded edges is called a conglomerate.

    Here's why:

    * Rounded edges: This indicates the fragments have been transported a significant distance, as the edges get worn down during transport.

    * Fragments: Conglomerates are made up of larger pieces of rock (gravel size or larger).

    * Sedimentary: This means the rock was formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments.
