Why do metamorphic rocks have a higher porosity than sedimentary rocks?
Actually, it's the other way around. Sedimentary rocks have a higher porosity because of the larger spaces between the rock particles which compose them.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
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)

Whats the process of change sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
The process of sedimentary rocks altering to metamorphic rocks is called metamorphosis.

Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
