Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of rounded particles that are larger than 2 millimeters in size. These particles are typically transported by high-energy environments such as fast-moving rivers or turbid currents. Therefore, conglomerate is the most likely choice for a rock type that was deposited in a high-energy environment such as a very turbulent stream.
