Sedimentary rocks formed when they undergo?
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.
which rock is only formed by regional metamorphasim?
The heat generated by the magma chamber has changed these sedimentary rocks into the metamorphic rocks marble, quartzite, and hornfels. Regional Metamorphism occurs over a much larger area. This metamorphism produces rocks such as gneiss and schist.
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks are the only rocks that can potentially contain what?
fossils
What Sedimentary rocks are the only rocks that can potentially contain?
fossils
What are the 4 types of sedimentary rocks?
There are only 3 types of sedimentary rocks and they are...Clastic RocksChemical RocksOrganic rocks
Do all sedimentary rocks bubble in acid?
No. Only sedimentary rocks containing carbonate minerals will bubble with acid.
What is the difference between sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
Geologists categorize rocks into three basic groups, of which sedimentary and metamorphic are two. Igneous is the third. Sedimentary rocks are laid down in layers of sediments such as mud, silt and sand that accumulate and harden over time. Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of lava or magma. Metamorphic rocks are a bit of a combination. They are sedimentary rocks or igneous rocks that have been deformed and changed by high pressure and temperature deep in Earth, or by contact with, or close proximity to a magmatic intrusion. A simple diagram showing the rock cycle with the processes that link sedimentary and metamorphic rocks as well as a simple diagram showing how metamorphic rocks are named and the rock types from which they are formed as well as A glossary of geological terms is also available. Please see the related links section.
Why can only sedimentary rocks contain in tact fossils?
Sedimentary rocks form three horizontal layers: strata, singular and stratum. The organisms that fall into the sedimentary rocks, will then be fossilized in each layer.
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
Why are most fossils fossils found in sedimentary rocks?
well because organisms can be preserved in sedimentary rock mispelled
Can only igneous rocks become sedimentary rock?
No, any type of rock can become sedimentary rock, because sedimentary rock refers to any rock that has been eroded, and pressure has been applied to it so as to solidify it from a granular state.
