What is granite in sedimentary form?
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)
How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What type of rock is?
There are three major types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Rocks are classified based on the process by which they were formed. Sedimentary rocks form from sand, dust, and tiny rock particles that are fused by water and extreme pressure over time. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma or lava; depending on how fast they were cooled and solidified, igneous rocks may or may not go through crystallization. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that changed from either sedimentary rocks, igneous ones, or other metamorphic rocks. These generally form from wind, water, or chemical erosion.
Is aquamarine igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Aquamarine is a form of the mineral beryl.
What type of rock is formed when layers of loose materials and compacted?
That process, of itself, does not form a particular "type" of rock. what it produces is rock "strata" where the rock involved could be igneous or sedimentary in origin.
How does a sedimentary rock contain pieces of igneous rocks?
Igneous rock pieces can stick together through cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks

Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
How does igneous rock change to sedimentary?
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
Does sedimentary rock form igneous rock?
Yes it can form an igneous rocks as because of pressure it may melt and form into igneous rocks.
