Why don't geologists find fossils in a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock is formed deep in the Earth's crust under tremendous heat and pressure. Fossiles are formed in sedimentary rock near the surface.
Where are the three types of rocks found?
Sedimentary rocks are found generally at the bottom of an ocean as this is where eroded material falls. Igneous rocks are found near volcanoes as they are molten rock. Metamorphic rock can be found anywhere, as it is formed in the ground and slowly comes up to the surface (but it is made of igneous or sedimentary rocks.)
Where do you find Diorite Rocks?
Near volcanoes.
How many volcanoes are near Pittsburgh?
There are no volcanoes near Pittsburgh.
Are most sedimentary rocks made?
most sedimentary rocks are mostly made from sediment , you will most- likley find the near water sources .
Is turquoise sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?

How can you distinguish between sedimentary and metamorphic coal?
Anthracite coal is a metamorphic coal that has a higher luster than any sedimentary coals. It also has the highest carbon content. Otherwise it is very similar to sedimentary coal. Diamond is commonly thought to be the metamorphism of coal but this is largely untrue as the immense majority (near 100%) of diamonds have nothing to do with coal.
Is travertine metamophic rock?
Travertine is a type of metamorphic rock. It is also a sedimentary rock, which is usually found near underground water sources.
Where can you find pictures of a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock had been formed in layers , often found near the water sources with fossils form decayers.Igneous rock it formed the cool lava and hardened that how it formed.Metamorphic rock formed Sedimentary rock and Igneous rock can also be transformed with pressure, heat and chemicals Metamorphic they'll become

Near volcanoes.
Why don't we find fossils in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Fossils are remains or impressions of living organisms and they are found in the sediments in or near where they lived. Living organisms cannot live in a molten magma which cools to become an igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks used to be sedimentary and igneous rocks but they were buried very deep under mountains and any traces of fossils in the sedimentary layers have been removed by the heat and pressure which altered the rock.
Where could you find hot springs?
Mainly near volcanoes.
