What are some Common rocks and minerals?
rocks: igneous rocks,metamorphic rocks,sedimentary rocks ect.................
Metamorphic rocks are classified into two groups?
The two main groups metamorphic rocks are classified are foliated rocks (meaning they have "bands"), and there are non-foliated rocks.
What are the two most common non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Marble and quartzite
What are two possible fates for a igneous rock?
Two of the most common fates of igneous rocks are to become sediment (and later sedimentary rocks) or to become metamorphic rocks.
What do Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks have in common?
It is more likely that igneous and metamorphic, or igneous and sedimentary rocks would have something in common than sedimentary and metamorphic. The reason is because the processes involved in making metamorphic rocks is completely different than the processes needed to make sedimentary rocks. Only high temperature, high pressure minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, amphibole can withstand these kinds of conditions. Take quartz and feldspar, two of the most abundant minerals found in sedimentary rocks, these minerals would not be found in abundance in metamorphic rocks because they are not high temperature, high pressure rocks. But the most simple answer is that all the major groups of rocks are made of minerals. Metamorphic has high pressure and Igneous does to and both made from a particle called magma.

What are the common kinds of metamorphic rocks?
The most common metermorphic rocks are : Marble, quartz, slate, phyllite, schist, geniss.

What are the two most common non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Marble and quartzite
Metamorphic rocks are probably the most common rock type found in the Earth's crust?
false
What 2 things are metamorphic rocks formed from?
Heat and pressure are the most common cause of metamorphism of rock.
What do most igneous sedimentary metamorphic rocks have in common?
It is more likely that igneous and metamorphic, or igneous and sedimentary rocks would have something in common than sedimentary and metamorphic. The reason is because the processes involved in making metamorphic rocks is completely different than the processes needed to make sedimentary rocks. Only high temperature, high pressure minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, amphibole can withstand these kinds of conditions.

What describes the thin flat layering in most metamorphic rocks?
The thin flat layering found in most metamorphic rocks is called foliation
What kind of rocks are caused by weathering?
The most common rock that experiences weathering, is sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic and Igneous are unlikey to.
Where would you find exposed metamorphic rocks?
Because metamorphic rocks from very deep underground, they have to be brought to the surface by some geologic processes before they are exposed. There are many processes that could do this, but the most common is a mountain building event. Mountainous areas often have very large areas of exposed metamorphic rocks.
