What kind of texture does a conglomerate rock have?

Answer 1

There are two kinds od Conglomerate rocks, Paraconglomerates and Orthoconglomerates;

Paraconglomerates are one of two varieties of conglomerate rock defined by texture consisting of a matrix supported rock that consists of at least 15% sand sized grains (<2 mm); the rest being larger grains of varying sizes.

Orthoconglomerates are defined by texture. They are a grain supported rock that consists primarily of gravel sized grains (~256 mm) and less than 15% matrix grains (<2 mm, ie. Sand and finer particles).

Answer 2

Conglomerates are divided into paraconglomerates and orthoconglomerates. Paraconglomerates contain more then 15 percent of sand sized grains, with the rest larger of varying size. Orthoconglomerates contain less then 15 percent of sand sized grain.

Answer 3

Conglomerate is a rock that has pieces of other rocks glued together to form one larger chunk. Therefore, they have a coarse-grained texture

Answer 4

The size and coarseness of the objects/sediments.
