Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flattened-clast conglomerate is typically found at the base of an eroding mountain range where rocks have been compressed, deformed, and flattened by tectonic activity. This results in the formation of flattened, disc-like clasts that accumulate in the sedimentary basin at the foot of the mountains.
