Answer 1

Percy finds a rock in his backyard. It looks like several pebbles cemented together. Percy has found a conglomerate rock.

A conglomerate rock is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of large rounded clasts such as pebbles, boulders, granules, and cobbles. Conglomerates are formed when gravel are subjected to wave action and are moved far enough from their original source to become rounded. Conglomerates usually have finer grained sediment (matrix), such as sand, or silt, and are usually cemented together by silica, calcite or iron oxide.

Answer 2

Clastic Sedimentary Rock

Explanation

Percy finds a rock in his backyard. It looks like several pebbles cemented together. Percy has found a clastic sedimentary rock. Clastic sedimentary rocks are made from automatic weathering trash. For example breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale. When diffused bodies hasten from the liquid, synthetic chemical rocks are formed. Another example, rock salt, iron ore, chert, flint, some dolomites, and some limestones. It is formed by pre-existing particles of rock.
