What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
Are sedimentary rocks similar to metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are ones formed by solidified mud and loose earth. Metamorphic rocks are ones formed by some sort of change, such as melting and re-cooling. So they are similar in some senses (they are both rocks, both of the earth) but in others they are very different (physical properties).
What are some rocks that are not volcanic?
Sedimentary rocks: Metamorphic rocks
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What are some physical properties of metamorphic rocks?
Hot

what are some uses for metamorphic rocks
What are some rocks that are not volcanic?
Sedimentary rocks: Metamorphic rocks
What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
Which properties are most often used to distinguish metamorphic rocks from other kinds of rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when igneous or sedimentary rocks undergo change because of exposure to excessive heat and pressure. The properties most often used to distinguish them from other kinds of rocks are: density, banding and the absence of vesicles.
Why Some Minerals Only Occur In Metamorphic Rocks.?
because if the metamorphic rocks are big they will shrink
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
What are some names metamorphic rocks?
shale
What are some examples of nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks are quartzite and marble.
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
