What is the depositional environment of conglomerate rock?
Conglomerate rocks can sometimes have spaces between the rocks and other times be filled in with a matrix cement, like concrete. A common place to find conglomerate is near a river. Rivers, because they move at different velocities, are able to transport and deposit rocks of all different sizes.
What is the difference between monomineralic rocks and polymineralic rocks?
monomineralic - one mineral polymineralic - multiple minerals
What is the difference between rocks and diamonds?
A rock is a rock, and a diamond is a gem.
How can concrete be a part of the rock cycle if it is not a true rock?
Concrete is a man-made conglomerate composed of pieces of rock in a matrix of cement, which is itself made from limestone. It is just as much part of the rock cycle as any naturally occurring rocks.
What is the Difference between Precambrian rocks and Paleozoic rocks?
Paleozoic rocks contain fossils while Precambarian rocks had no fossils since at that time there was only single celled organisms.
Whst is the difference between masonry cement and common cement?
Cement is just the powder used to make mortar and concrete. Mortar has sand in it.

What are the hard and soft matrix used in Impregnated diamond core bit - I'm confused about the fact that a hard matrix is used in sedimentary or soft rocks while a soft matrix is used for hard rocks?
Hard matrix is supposed to be used for digging hard rocks and soft matrix for soft rocks. It's quite confusing to me
What is the difference between classic rocks and limestone?
classic rocks are not minerals. limestone is
Are portland cement rocks sand and water a compound?
Yes, Portland cement rocks, sand, and water are indeed a compound.
Can all three types of rock weather and wear away to form sediment?
Yes, though different rocks are more suceptible to weathering than others, depending on the strength and stability of their cement or matrix.
What is the purpose of cement in concrete?
cement is the binder for concrete like glue with out it you have mud with rocks
What causes the difference between breccias and conglomerante?
The difference between breccias and conglomerate is that breccias are angular and conglomerates are smooth. What causes rocks to be smooth is transportation, such as when rocks are in a stream and are worn down. Therefore transportation is what causes the difference between breccias and conglomerates.
What is the difference between monomineralic rocks and polymineralic rocks?
monomineralic - one mineral polymineralic - multiple minerals
Describe the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphaneritic rocks?
describe the textural difference between coarse-grained (phaneritic) and fine-grained (aphaneritic) rocks
What are the components of sedimentry rocks?
Three main components comprises a sedimentary rock,1.Grain, 2.Matrix and 3.Cement.The grains can be of organic(e.g.in case of biomicrites)or can be of inorganic (e.g.sandstones)origin.Matrix fills up the gaps in between the grains and cement helps to make a close bond among the grains.
What does cement and sand water and rocks make?
It is CONCRETE.
