Is the moon made of metamorphic rock?
No. The moon is made of igneous rock.
Did the great pyramid was made up of metamorphic rock?
No only igneous and sedimentary rocks
From what is metamorphic rock made?
Metamorphic rocks are made from the action of heat, stress, and pressure on pre-existing rocks, of either an igneous, or a sedimentary origin. Also, sometimes a metamorphic rock can be resculpted to form another metamorphic rock.
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks
What rock can only be formed from sedimenta rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks. With proper heat and pressure sedimentary and igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks.
How metamorphic rock turns into igneous?
Metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock when it is melted, then solidifies.
How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
What type of rock can only be formed from sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can form from igneous and sedimentary rock. It can also form from previously metamorphosed rock into a higher grade metamorphic rock.
When is a metamorphic rock change into a igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks are made by heat and pressure, and assuming this isn't a grown person, you SHOULD know that igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma that hardens, so it is when a metamorphic rock is melted, and then hardens. This creates igneous rock.

Is gneiss metamorphic?
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
