What else can I help you with?
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 process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
What are some rocks that are not volcanic?
Sedimentary rocks: Metamorphic rocks
Why Some Minerals Only Occur In Metamorphic Rocks.?
because if the metamorphic rocks are big they will shrink
What are some questions about metamorphic rocks that you would like to explore?
Some questions about metamorphic rocks that could be explored include: How do different types of pressure and temperature affect the formation of metamorphic rocks? What are the key minerals found in metamorphic rocks and how do they indicate the rock's history? How do metamorphic rocks differ from igneous and sedimentary rocks in terms of their formation processes and characteristics?
3 short answers on what metamorphic rocks are used for?
Metamorphic rocks are used for building materials like marble and slate. They can also be used as decorative stones in landscaping and architecture. Some metamorphic rocks, like quartzite, are used as abrasive materials in manufacturing.
What are some examples of nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks are quartzite and marble.
What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Rocks formed from high temperature and pressure include metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist, and gneiss. These rocks are created deep within the Earth's crust through the transformation of existing rock types under intense heat and pressure conditions.
What are some names metamorphic rocks?
shale
What are some properties of metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed through the alteration process of existing rocks due to high temperature and pressure. They display a foliated or non-foliated texture, with minerals aligning in layers or bands in the foliated type. Metamorphic rocks may show a variety of colors, depending on the minerals present and the intensity of the metamorphic process.
What can you infer about metamorphic rocks from their names?
That they have undergone some form of change. For more information on metamorphic rocks please see the related question.
Heat and pressure can cause some rocks to change into different types of rocks?
sedimentary rocks
