Metamorphic rocks are formed from an existing rock (of any of the three types) being subjected to a combination of heat and pressure.
Sedimentary rocks are heated and pressed together.
They don't.
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
igneous rock, metamorpic rock and sedimentary rock
yes you can find broken fossils in metamorphic rics
its igenoeus
yes
Quartzite is the metamorphic rock for sandstone.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Soils derived from igneous rocks tend to be more fertile than those derived from metamorphic rocks. This is because igneous rocks have a higher mineral content that can break down into nutrients essential for plant growth. Metamorphic rocks may have fewer minerals available for plant uptake, resulting in less fertile soil.
Metamorphic rocks that are massive and lack banding include non-foliated types like marble and quartzite. Marble forms from the metamorphism of limestone and is typically composed of calcite or dolomite, while quartzite originates from the metamorphism of sandstone and consists primarily of quartz. These rocks exhibit a uniform texture and structure, making them distinct from foliated metamorphic rocks that show layering or banding.
