What is difference between igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic?
Metamorphic rocks are made from cooling lava, Igneus rocks are made by heat and presure, and Sedimentary rocks are made by sand and/or other tiny broken off peaces of rocks being presurised together forming one single rock
What rock is formed when existing rock is altered by conditions of extreme pressure and temperature?
Metamorphic Rocks
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
What is the process that forms igeouse rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from being under large amounts of pressure and extreme heat.
How are metamorphic rocks formed underground?
when melted rock goes underground and magma cools, igneous forms
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
How are each of the major types of rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed from magma or lava cooling and hardening. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments being compressed and cemented together. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that are changed by extreme heat and pressure.

Are metamorphic rocks naturally formed?
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
What are rocks that are formed of pieces of other rocks?
Conglomerate
Rocks such as sandstone which are formed from particles of other rocks are?
Sedimentary rocks.
Are rocks natural forms?
Metamorphic rocks are naturally formed. they are formed from natural changes that happen to other rocks.
What rock is formed when existing rock is altered by conditions of extreme pressure and temperature?
Metamorphic Rocks
Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Rocks such as sandstone are formed from particles of other rocks are?
Sedimentary.
What forces create metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary and older metamorphic rocks that are introduced to extreme temperature and pressure. Because of the extreme temperature and pressure, rocks go through a significant chemical or physical change, turing them into metamorphic rocks.
How are non clastic rocks formed?
Non-clastic rocks are formed from the chemical precipitate out of a solution and occur chiefly in the oceans. They are not formed from other rocks or rock particles.
