When you look at a metamorphic rock how can you tell it is one?
Understand that metamorphic rocks are those that have changed in some way by heat or pressure or both. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments and igneous rocks are formed by fire. When these rocks change again, they become metamorphic. Marble is one type of metamorphic rock.Look at the way the grain are formed. In schist rocks, you can see that the layers and the grains all go the same way. Warning Metamorphic rocks are difficult to classify because different amounts of heat or pressure to the same rock can look different.
How do Sedimentary rocks change to Metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
How are metamorphic rocks like cookies?
they aren't in any way
What makes igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks different from each other?
The way in which they were formed.
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 is one way igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are different?
igneous rocks are made of lava that cools and hardens and metamorphic rocks are madeby heat and pressure.
How is metamorphic rocks organically made?
rocks pile on other rocks pushing them downward, as they reach about one eighth of the way towards the mantle the pressure and heat make metamorphic rocks

Is gneiss metamorphic?
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
What is the difference of a metamorphic rock and a sedimentary rock?
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.

How do Sedimentary rocks change to Metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
Explain how a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
It's the other way around: How does a sedimentary rocks turn into a metamorphic rocks? The answers is: "By heat and pressure". Metamorphic rocks never turn into sedimentary rocks.
What makes igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks different from each other?
The way in which they were formed.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentry rocks different?
because the way there formed is how there different
How do sedimentary rock change metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks change to metamorphic the same way any other rock would: through heat and pressure.
Foliated rocks are distinguished by?
The main way metamorphic rocks are classified is by the presence or absence of foliation. Foliated metamorphic rocks are distinguished by the type of foliation they exhibit. Types of foliation textures, include: slaty, phyllitic, schistose, and gneissi.
