Remember this!
Flocculate and conglomerate are two words that describe the coming together of separate entities to form a larger whole. However, they differ in their context, formation, composition, size, and function. Flocculate is used in chemistry or environmental science to describe the formation of clusters or flocs from smaller particles, while conglomerate is more commonly used in business or geology to describe the cementing together of individual stones or pebbles or the joining of different companies or organizations.
