What else can I help you with?
What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
What is stronger igneous or metamorphic rocks?
In general, igneous rocks tend to be stronger than metamorphic rocks due to their crystalline structure and lack of weaknesses like cleavage planes that are common in metamorphic rocks. However, the specific strength of a rock depends on factors such as composition, grain size, and how the rock has been altered by geological processes.
What does gneiss and marble have in common?
They are both metamorphic rocks.
What are the three common rocks?
igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic!
What are metamorphic rocks in?
Metamorphic rocks have really all and any mineral based upon different rocks. However common ones are quartz, mica, and calcium carbonate.
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.
What are the common kinds of metamorphic rocks?
The most common metermorphic rocks are : Marble, quartz, slate, phyllite, schist, geniss.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
Do metamorphic rocks have holes?
Metamorphic rocks can sometimes have spaces or voids called vesicles, but these are not common in all metamorphic rocks. Holes or voids can also form in metamorphic rocks through the dissolution of minerals or inclusions during the rock's formation process. Overall, metamorphic rocks are more likely to have a solid, dense structure compared to sedimentary rocks, which are more prone to having visible pores or holes.
Changed-over rocks are called?
Metamorphic Rocks
What materials form Metamorphic Rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from the transformation of pre-existing rocks under high temperatures and pressures. Common parent rocks include shale, limestone, and granite. The minerals present in the parent rocks determine the types of metamorphic rocks that can form.
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks
