The difference of metamorphic rocks from igneous and sedimentary rocks is on the way these rocks are formed. Igneous rocks form when magma cools down and becomes solid while sedimentary rocks form due to erosion and weathering of the Earthâ??s material, whereas, metamorphic rocks are formed as a result of rock transformation called metamorphism.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks changed by intense heat or pressure. They are usually shinier, harder, more consolidated than the parent rock (rock before it was metamorphosed). Metamorphic rocks are often banded and/or they have crystals. HOPE THAT HELPED! :D
Metamorphic rocks are cause by a pre-existing rock, either igneous or sedimentary which under extremes of heat or pressure (or both) change their form. Eg Limestone (sedimentary) undergoes metamorphism to marble (metamorphic ). Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been formed through compaction and cementation of sediments as a result of the weathering and erosion of other sedimentary rocks, metamorphic or igneous rocks. Eg. Limestone is madeup of shells, corals and other algal and or fecal matter.
A metamorphic rock has gone through several changes from merging to breaking to combining unlike igneous which is fresh out of the volcano & sedimentary which changed form by water or air by itself.
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
metamorphic is formed by a volcanic eruption. sedimentary is formed by the earth.
Bdjdb
No it is not metamorphic, it is a sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic and sedimentary Rock's
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
no. it is a clastic sedimentary rock.
sedimentary

No, metamorphic rock is not sedimentary; those are two different types.
No it is not metamorphic, it is a sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic and sedimentary Rock's
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
What two thing's change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock
The types of rocks are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
