Sedimentary rocks tend to have layers. Igneous rocks tend to have crystals. If you don't see layers or crystals, the rock might be metamorphic.
cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. -Mrs.Zalenski
igneous rocks started as melted lava and cooled to be rocks. Metamorphic rock started as a sedimentary rock, and was heated up and put under pressure to create the metamorphic rock. Classic example - igneous = obsidian. Metamorphic = marble (marble is limestone that's been heated and squeezed a lot).
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Igneous rocks are formed when rocks reach the melting point becoming magma, then the magma starts to cool and crystallizes to form igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks are made when they come in contact with a mass of magma but does not melt providing the energy to drive chemical reactions that recrystallize minerals.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
