Nearly all rocks had their beginning as magma - molten rock. This forms igneous rock that weathers to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rock may be changed by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rock. The exception is limestone which is formed by chemical precipitation or from fossils.
What else can I help you with?
Do sedimentary rocks come from the center of the earth?
No. Sedimentary rocks form relatively close to the surface. No rocks that we have access to come from the planet's center.
Is made out of gas or rocks?
Mercury Hg is Element, inliquid natural form, and in different chemical forms, it does come from minerals deposited in liquid or solid form in rocks.....
What are rocks that come from the mantle called?
Igneous rock.

Where do sedimentary rocks form and what processes are involved in their formation?
Sedimentary rocks form at or near the Earth's surface through the accumulation and compression of sediments. These sediments can come from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks, as well as from the remains of plants and animals. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
How do detrial rocks form?
Detrital rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments that are carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice. These sediments can come from the weathering of pre-existing rocks, erosion of mountains, or volcanic ash. Over time, the sediment particles are compacted and cemented together to form detrital rocks like sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Did sand stone come first or sand?
Sand. Sand is a form a eroded igneous rocks, which is then undergoes cementation/compact to form sandstone.
A mineral with a valuable metal in it is an?
All metals come in a Raw form and are extracted from rocks that are called Ores
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
What are rocks that contain minerals called?
Rocks that contain minerals are called mineral rocks. Minerals are naturally occurring substances that have a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. These minerals come together to form rocks through various geological processes.
Where are sedimentary rocks from?
Sedimentary rocks come from deposited sediment that are cemented together (usually in water) to form these types of rocks. The rocks are made out of weared-down shells, rocks, inclusions (rock particles) and sand as well as pebbles or other particles. Hope that helps.
