What is 9.2 rounded to the nearest hundredths place?
9.2 or, if you want to indicate that it is to the nearest hundredths, 9.20
What is 6.5 rounded to the nearest hundredth?
6.50
What is 76.5 rounded t0 the nearest hundredth?
76.5 is already rounded to the nearest tenth, which is more rounded than to the nearest hundredth. If you want to indicate that the number is accurate to the nearest hundredth, then write it as 76.50 otherwise leave it as it is.
How do you round 479 to the nearest thousandth?
479, rounded to the nearest thousandth is 479 although, if you wish to indicate that it is accurate to the nearest thousandth, you could write it as 479.000
How do you write 377000000 to the nearest 0.1 million?
The number is already rounded to the nearest million so you write it just as in the question. To indicate that it is accurate to the nearest 0.1 million, you could write it as 377.0 million.
Sedimentary clasts and grains become rounded primarily during what?
transportation
Compare and contrast conglomerates and breccia?
Conglomerates are dominantly composed of rounded gravel and breccias are composed of dominantly angular gravel.
What sedimentary clastic rock has different sized rock fragments?
Could be conglomerate or breccia, depending on whether or not the clasts are rounded or angular.
What are rock or mineral fragments called?
Clasts. An accumulation of fallen clasts at the bottom of a rock face is "scree". An accumulation of clasts generally, up to about cobble size anyway, is a "sediment".
Conglomerate rocks are made of what rocks?
Conglomerates are sedimentary rocks where a fine grained matrix contains a large number of larger rounded pebble or rock sized clasts. These clasts are frequently pebbles made up from a variety of other rock types.
What type sedimentary rock is conglomerate?
Yes, conglomerate is a sedimentary rock! It's a lithified mix of clasts, generally rounded to some degree, in a finer silt or sand matrix, all formed from deposits of the weathering products of earlier, often (but not exclusively) igneous, rock. If the clasts are coarse and angular the rock is a breccia.

Which rock type is associated with a high-energy environment such as a very turbulent stream?
If the rock formed in a turbulent stream then it would probably be called a conglomerate. These have well rounded clasts because the water has worn them down, as well as a large variation in the size of the clasts which is due to the high energy environment. If the rock formed in another high energy situation, such as a landslide, it could be called a breccia. It is a similar type of sedimentary rock to a conglomerate, however, its clasts are very angular rather than rounded because they are usually fragments of other rocks which have been broken during the high energy event.
What are the small particles or the remain of living things that make up a sedimentary rock called?
They are referred to as clasts or bio-clasts.
The Small particles of rock or the remains of living things that make up sedimentary rocks are what?
They are referred to as clasts or bio-clasts.
What is another name for clasts?
Klastos
What are clasts?
Clasts are rock fragments, also pieces of rock that make up the texture of some sedimentary rock (clastic sedimentary rock).
