Conglomerate Formation

Conglomerate formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Conglomerate Uses and the Conglomerate Reserves are found in many countries around the world. The rocks in the earth’s crust continuously undergo changes in their composition which leads to formation of other rocks. Each rock has a unique formation process. Formation of Conglomerate is explained below:

  • Conglomerate forms where sediments consisting mainly of pebble and cobble-size clasts at least two millimeters in diameter starts accumulating.
