What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between the two types of metamorphic rocks?
how is metamorphic rock different than intrusive rock
What is commonly found in metamorphic rock?
A texture know as foliation is common in metamorphic rock and garnets are more commonly found in metamorphic rock than other rock types of the crust.
How big are the particles in metamorphic rock compared to those in sedimentary rock?
If by particles you mean the size of the crystals, then the crystals in metamorphic rock are often larger than in the sedimentary rock. High heat and pressure can cause the minerals to recrystallize. This would be the case in the metamorphosis of limestone (sedimentary) to marble (metamorphic).
How can a metamorphic rock be change into an igneous rock?
By a process of melting and re-solidification of the melt produced..
Would you be less likely to find fossils in metamorphic rock than in sedimentary rock?
Yes.
Why Doesn't metamorphic rock occur at temperatures 1000 degrees or higher?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks
What is a short description of metamorphic rocks?
Brick is baked mud, and as such, can be considered to be sedimentary.
If a sedimentary rock contains inclusions of metamorphic rock which rock is older?
The metamorphic rock would be older, because in the sedimentary rock's formation that is caused by collected sediment taking years to harden and turning into a rock, the metamorphic rock would have already been considered metamorphic when traces of it came into the sedimentary.
What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
What is smaller than a rock?
Many things can be smaller than a rock, such as a pebble, a grain of sand, or even a speck of dust.
Does Metamorphic rock occur at temps greater than 1000 Celsius?
No it does not occur.
Is metamorphic rock the oldest type of rock?
slate
