Source of Aggregates

Source of Aggregates

All natural aggregate materials are Obtain from bed rocks, lake, river and See.


There are three kind of Aggregates by the

Source Igneous rock Aggregates,

Sedimentary rock Aggregates,

Metamorphic rock Aggregates,

All these classifications are based on the mode of formation of rocks.

Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire) igneous are the types of rocks formed by the cooling of molten magma or lava at the surface of the crest (extrusive or volcanic) or beneath the crest (intrusive or plutonic). Aggregates that extract from the igneous rock such Aggregates are smooth, crystalline, course and fine-grained. Good properties of igneous rock make the most popular aggregates

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed originally by the deposition and subsequent lifted up material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. The sedimentary rock are formed by weathering and erosion from the source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice, or glacier.  The thickness of the stratification (lifted up material) of sedimentary rocks may vary from a section of a centimeter to many centimeters.

Metamorphic rocks are from by change of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form. Metamorphic rocks are originally either igneous or sedimentary rocks which are subsequently metamorphosed due to extreme heat (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C) and pressure (1500 bars).
