Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
What does sedimentary rock and igneous rock have in common?
Both are: composed of minerals, subject to weathering and erosion, can be visible on the surface, are derived from natural processes, and are solid. Some sedimentary rocks can be composed almost completely of sediments derived from igneous rock.
How does the volume of sedimentary rocks in Earth's crust compare with the volume of igneous rocks in the crust?
75% Igneous 5% Sedimentary
Which is older igneous or sedimentary?
Neither. You can get sedimentary rocks that are older than igneous rocks, or igneous that are older the sedimentary rocks. However, igneous rocks are formed from magma within the earth's crust, or as it extrudes onto the surface, while sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion and redeposition of existing rocks, so generally in the life cycle of a rock the igneous form would come first.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
How do igneous rocks from into a sedimentary rock?
igneous rocks mix with metamorphic rocks and they combine together to make a sedimentary rock. the three themes of science rocks are metamorphic,igneous, and sedimentary.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?

What is the name of all three rocks sedimentary igneous and?
Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.
How are igneous and sedimentary alike?
Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
