A conglomerate is a rock that forms as a result of compaction and cementation.

Conglomerate rock is a type of sedimentary rock which are formed as a result of compaction and cementation.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Rock </h3>
  • A rock is a naturally occurring substances that is a solid mixture of one or more minerals together with organic matter.
  • Rocks are classified based on the chemical composition, texture and the way they are formed.  
<h3>Rock cycle</h3>
  • One type of rock may change from one form to another through a rock cycle.
  • Rock cycle is the process through each various rocks change from one form to another, normally an interchange between the three major types of rocks.
<h3>Major classification of rocks:</h3><h3>Sedimentary rocks </h3>
  • Sedimentary rocks are types of rocks that are formed through accumulation of sediments at low temperatures in tectonic layers and sinks. The process involved include compaction and cementation of sediments.
  • These sediments includes; pebbles, shells, sand and other material fragments.  
  • The sediments accumulates in layers and then harden into rocks over a period of time.
  • Examples of sedimentary rocks include; limestone and conglomerate
<h3>Metamorphic rocks</h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result of changes that occurs due to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the earth. They result from action of heat and pressure on other rocks that pre-existed.
  • These types of rocks are characterized by shiny crystals, ribbon-like layers among other features.
  • Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble and gneiss
<h3>Igneous rocks </h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result hardening and cooling of magma from volcanic eruptions. Magma may cool inside the earth or when on the surface of the earth as a result of volcanic eruptions. The lava from this eruptions cools and hardens to form metamorphic rocks.
  • Igneous rocks are glass-like and shiny with no crystals. They may also have tiny spaces and holes due to gas bubbles trapped during the cooling process.
  • Examples of igneous rocks include obsidian and basalt.

Key words: Rocks, chemical composition, sedimentary rocks, conglomerate.

When the vectors a→ =8n and b→ =6n find the c
n200080 [17]

Answer:

14 N and 2 N

Explanation:

We have two vectors:

a = 8 N

b = 6 N

When the two vectors are in the same direction, their resultant is simply given by the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors. Therefore, we will have:

c=a+b=8 + 6 = 14 N

Vice-versa, when the two vectors are in opposite directions, we have to consider one of the two vectors as being negative: therefore, the resultant will be given by the difference between the magnitudes of the two vectors. Therefore, in this case, we will have:

c=a-b=8-6 = 2N

slavikrds [6]

The three types of equilibrium in an object are;  stable, unstable, or neutral equilibrium.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

The term equilibrium refers to a situation in which all the forces acting on an object are balanced such that the object does not move. The question is incomplete as the images are missing.

There are three types of equilibrium:

  • Stable equilibrium: In a stable equilibrium, the object returns to rest in its original place when displlaced.
  • Unstable equilibrium: In this type of equilibrium, the body moves further away from its original position when displaced.
  • Neutral equilibrium: In this type of equilibrium, the object comes to rest in a new position when displaced.
