Conglomerate (geology)
KidzSearch Safe Wikipedia for Kids.
A conglomerate is a rock consisting of individual clasts within a finer-grained matrix that have become cemented together.
Conglomerates are sedimentary rocks consisting of rounded fragments and are thus differentiated from breccias, which consist of angular clasts.[1] Both conglomerates and breccias have clasts larger than sand (>2 mm).
