Differences between Aggregate[edit]

I'm not certain that there is a real difference in how aggregate is defined when it comes to Geology, Petrology, Pedology, etc. The sciences tend to align in the use of the term as an aggregation of material.

As far as it's use in the construction industry, it is often classified more as a material product doesn't really seem to be related to geology.

I would remove the reference to construction in this context and focus more on the identification, classification, and other aspects of aggregates as related to geology here. Terrickisaiah555 ^[T]/_[C] 22:41, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
