Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
there alike because sedimentary rock and igneous rock together make metamorphic rock
1. They are both hard solid masses. 2. They can occur both below and above the earths surface.
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.
No. Extrusive igneous rocks are usually layered. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which resembles layering, but it is not the same thing.
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
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 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.
no
their both rocks
they are all rocks
Yes, igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary all can from from each other.
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.
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.

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.

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