Conglomerate and Basaltic Trachyandesite Definition

Definition of Conglomerate and Basaltic Trachyandesite

The general Conglomerate and Basaltic Trachyandesite definition can be stated as: Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock which forms from rounded gravel and boulder sized clasts which are cemented together in a matrix. On the other hand, Basaltic Trachyandesite is an extrusive igneous rock which is a type of Basalt rock and is formed by the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the Earth's surface.
