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. :)
No. Basalt is an intrusive igneous rock.
It is an fine grained, mafic, igneous rock
Basalt is an igneous rock, but not all igneous rock is basalt. Marble is an example of a metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic are types of rock (you can look up definitions, if you want). Basalt is a type of igneous rock.
Igneous.
Igneous: * Obsidian * Granite * Diorite * Gabbro * Pumice * Basalt Metamorphic: * Slate * Phyllite * Gneiss * Mica schist * Marble * Quartzite * Granulite Sedimentary: * Limestone * Sandstone * Shale * Chert * Mudstone * Chalk
Non-foliated metamorphic, organic sedimentary, and extrusive igneous, respectively.
its igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic
These are sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand. Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay. Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.
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)
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
Igneus-Basalt Sedimentary-Limestone Metamorphic-Granite
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.

No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
