What are some igneous and sedimentary rocks?

Igneous rocks are made from magma. Magma is made of melted rocks. (When it is underground it is called magma, when it erupts on the surface of the earth, it is called lava. It's the same material though.) When magma/lava cools, it forms igneous rocks. There are many types of igneous rocks and the specific type of igneous rock can vary according to which minerals are present in the melted rock, how fast it cools, and the presence of things like water. Sedimentary rocks are made out of tiny pieces of debris. This can include tiny rocks, sand, clay, silt, and organic material. (Organic materials can vary from rotted leaves to tiny, shelled ocean creatures, or many other types of organic material.) These bits of material collect in an area, then through compaction and cementation, they stick together to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed when minerals are dissolved in water and are then resolidified. This type of sedimentary rock is called a chemical sedimentary rock. Oolitic limestone is a good example of this type of sedimentary rock.


Is sedimentary rock the only type of layered rock?

No. Extrusive igneous rocks are usually layered. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which resembles layering, but it is not the same thing.


Can metamorphic rocks be sedimentary or igneous rocks?

there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99


What is found in all sedimentary rocks?

Well an igneous rock can weather than turn into a sedimentary rock, a sedimentary rock can break down into sediments than form again to become sedimentary, or a metamorphic rock can break down by weathering and eroding and become sedimentary. All rocks can become all rocks and even go back to being the same type.


Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?

Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.

Are metamorphic rocks more dense than sedimentary or igneous rocks?

Igneous rocks are denser than sedimentary rocks because the particles and materials making up the igneous rock are more closely packed and compacted making more matter able to fit into a tiny area of its structures.


Why do the three rock groups contain the same basic composition?

All rocks are some arrangement of Earth's magma. Igneous rocks are hardened magma. Sedimentary rock are from weathered material from igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks have the same composition but are subject to extreme heat and pressure and hence change their crystal structure.

How is igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rock the same?

Sedimentary is formed by the sediments collecting, compacting and cementing together. Metamorphic rocks are made when rocks are compacted and exposed to heat and pressure. The only rock that is made of cooled hardened magma is an igneous rock which can be made two ways, intrusively or extrusively.

Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?

No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
