What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.
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 the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
What are some physical properties of metamorphic rocks?
Hot
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.
What process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Subduction and high pressure.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
Are unakite rocks Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks or Igneous rocks?
metamorphic
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.
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks
Are unakite rocks Metamorphic rocks or igneous rocks?
It is a type of Metamorphic rock
Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
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).
Rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
metamorphic rock
