If you are a Rock and Mineral collector, Metamorphic rocks are more interesting because they are formed under Earth's crust from molten rock. When they cool down and crystallize, which is a longer process for metamorphic rocks. Which is why they are usually shinier or have more crystals formed within them. Also people like them because they have a more vivid history coming from under the earth.

What feature of sedimentary rocks are unlikely to be found in metamorphic rocks?
they are more softer than metamorphic rocks
Are metamorphic rocks harder than others?
uh, i think you mean 'metamorphic'....
What features of metamorphic rocks are unlikely to be found in sedimentary rocks?
it is denser than sedimentary rocks
Which types of rocks are not metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary and Igneous rocks are not metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks however are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have undertaken metamorphism (In extreme heat and/or pressure the minerals are forced to recrystalize) and become metamorphic rocks. If the heat/pressure causes the rock to melt into liquid rock than it is no longer metamorphi, it is igneous. Hope this helps :)
How hard are sedimentary rocks?
harder than metamorphic
What are rocks called that have been made by heat and compaction?
Metamorphic rocks. However care should be taken when using the work compaction, as clastic sedimentary rocks undergo compaction during their formation and are not considered metamorphic. A better word than compaction in this context would be pressure or stress.
What do sedimentary rocks have more often than metamorphic or igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rocks have numerous fossils
More often than metamorphic or igneous rocks sedimentary rocks have what?
