Which characteristic helps identify nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
crytal structure
What are the characteristics of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks that look like they have layers or the appearance of layers. Non-foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks without any foliation.
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
Why is metamorphic rock hard?
because a metamorphic rock is made up of different rocks.
Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.

What are the characteristics of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks that look like they have layers or the appearance of layers. Non-foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks without any foliation.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat
Is metamorphic a type of mineral?
Metamorphic is a group of rocks with similar characteristics. There are minerals in the rocks so they could be considered made of minerals but they are not minerals themselves.
How does pressure help make metamorphic rocks?
pressure helps the metamorphic with the high temprature or pressure
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
Which types of rocks are not metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary and Igneous rocks are not metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks however are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have undertaken metamorphism (In extreme heat and/or pressure the minerals are forced to recrystalize) and become metamorphic rocks. If the heat/pressure causes the rock to melt into liquid rock than it is no longer metamorphi, it is igneous. Hope this helps :)
What rock helps make metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock.
Do sedimentary rocks contain fossil?
yes fossils are found in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous and metamorphic rocks. hope this helps
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
What helps create both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks?
cementation
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
