Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
Heat must melt the sedimentary,metamorphic,or igneous and it will turn to magma
What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic?
Igneous rocks, Sedimentary rocks and pre-existing Metamorphic rocks.
Does Metamorphic rocks form only from igneous rocks true or false?
False it can also form from sedimentary rock.
3 main categories of rocks?
Igneous--those that form directly from a molten state. Sedimentary--those that form from eroded particles of various sizes from other rocks. Metamorphic--igneous and sedimentary rocks, and sometimes metamorphic rocks, that undergo a transformation from heat and/or pressure.

What rocks changes its form from once igneous or sedimentary?
metamorphic
What are kind of rock?
The three kinds of rocks by their method of formation are IGNEOUS rocks, SEDIMENTARY rocks and METAMORPHIC rocks. Igneous rocks cool from magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks form by the deposition of particulates and silt. Metamorphic rocks form from rocks (usually sedimentary) that are compressed and heated underground.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
Heat must melt the sedimentary,metamorphic,or igneous and it will turn to magma
Could a sedimentary and igneous rocks form into a metamorphic rock?
Yes.
What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic?
Igneous rocks, Sedimentary rocks and pre-existing Metamorphic rocks.
What rock can only be formed from sedimenta rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks. With proper heat and pressure sedimentary and igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks.
What do Volcanic eruptions form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks
What must be present for igneous and sedimentary to form into metamorphic rocks?
Pressure and heat.
