Why are rocks not the same?
Because different rocks are formed by different processes and made up of different mineral assemblages.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentry rocks different?
because the way there formed is how there different
What makes the 3 types of rocks different?
The three types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - are different in terms of how they are formed. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten material, sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of mineral and organic particles, while metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure within the Earth's crust.
What are the different types of rocks commonly found in nature and how are they formed?
The three main types of rocks found in nature are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
Where did sediment come from?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.
Why rocks have different colors?
because of the different elements that mix together and the place it has formed
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes, in a sense. Rocks can be metamorphosed multiple times, by different geologic events.
What are the three formation of minerals?
There are three different kinds of rocks, depending on how they were formed. Igneous rocks formed when melted rock cooled and hardened. Sedimentary rocks formed in layers from bits of older rocks and parts of animals or plants. These collect in low areas or under water and harden into rocks. Metamorphic rocks formed when either sedimentary, igneous, or earlier formed metamorphic rocks were put under pressure and heat deep in the earth's crust.
What kind of rocks form when other pieces of rock and matter gather into layers?
a sedimentary rock is formed. depending on which rocks were squished, you can get different rocks
What rocks are formed from molten rock that has solidified?
Igneous rocks, which come in many different forms.
How are Sedimentary rocks and Igneous rocks different?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten lava or magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and compaction of sediment grains or by their chemical precipitation in water. For more information please see the related link.
Why the rocks found near a volcano are different from the rocks found in the beach?
Rocks found by volcanoes are formed from lava and magma inside and outside the volcano. Rocks found along beaches are formed all kinds of different ways. It all depends on how the rock is formed
