What clastic sedimentary rock is made from finest sediment?
Metamorphic rock
Does metamorphic rock form when sediment is squeezed by the weight of the rock above it?
medamorphic rock
What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Any rock can wear away to form sediment; be it sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
From what is metamorphic rock made?
Metamorphic rocks are made from the action of heat, stress, and pressure on pre-existing rocks, of either an igneous, or a sedimentary origin. Also, sometimes a metamorphic rock can be resculpted to form another metamorphic rock.
Can a sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?
it gets weathered into sediment, then it gets washed into the ocean, sediment layers up over millions of years, and it gets squashed into sedimentery rock, then metamorphic and so on.
What clastic sedimentary rock is made from finest sediment?
Metamorphic rock
The type rock made of harden sediment is called?
Sedimentary rock.
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?
Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
What rock forms when sediment is squezed into layers by the weight of the rock above it?
Metamorphic rock.
Does metamorphic rock form when sediment is squeezed by the weight of the rock above it?
medamorphic rock
What processes can transform metamorphic rock into sediment?
weathering and erosion
How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?
Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.
How the metamorphic rock can become sediment rock?
The Metamorphic Rock must undergo a process called Weathering and Erosion. Once it has become sediments it goes under another process called Cementing and Compacting. Now it has become a sedimentary rock. Trust Point me if this helped! Thanks!
What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Any rock can wear away to form sediment; be it sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
Could a metamorphic rock turn into a sedimentry rock and then back to metamorphic?
yes eventually but there are steps:metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
