Metamorphic rock would probably have been the first rock type formed after the initial formation of the first igneous rock. Sedimentary rock formation relies on weathering and erosion, whereas metamorphic rock can be created by heat and pressure. It's likely that rock was metamorphosed before weathering existed .

∙ 13y agoAny rock can be first sedimentary then igneous. Metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks can turn into sediment through weathering and erosion. Then compaction and cementation turns sediment into sedimentary rock. If it melts, it will harden and crystallize into an igneous rock.
