The rock type which is associated with a high- energy
environment such as a very turbulent stream is called conglomerate rock. This
sedimentary rock contains large rounded clasts. Small particles and/or chemical
cement bind the rock together. These kinds of rocks may vary according to their
compositions. These clasts which are round may be minerals such as quartz or
these could be sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock fragments. And the large clasts may be because a mixture of sand, mud
and chemical cement bonded them together. These rocks are formed when sediments
of rounded clasts of at least two millimeters in diameter accumulate.
