Sedimentary rock is converted into metamorphic rock with exposure to heat, pressure, heated mineral solutions, or a combination of any of them.

Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?

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


What are the types of the rock?

The types of rocks are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.


What features of metamorphic rocks are unlikely to be found in sedimentary rocks?

Foliation, a layered or banded texture, is a common feature of metamorphic rocks but not typically found in sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks can also have mineral reorganization and recrystallization that are not commonly seen in sedimentary rocks. Additionally, metamorphic rocks may exhibit distinct metamorphic minerals like garnet, staurolite, or kyanite, which are unlikely to be found in sedimentary rocks.


Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?

Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.


How do sedimentary rocks go from the sea bed to be turned into metamorphic?

sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat


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.
