Where do metomorphic rocks form?
metamorphic rocks are formed in earths crust not on the surface
What rock type are most common at earths surface?
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary. Basalt is the most common type of rock and it is igneous.
How do metamorphic rocks turn into igneous rocks?
metamorphic rocks are heated and pressured so soon they are being melted turning into magma. But volcanic activity can also release lava which would cool and harden either in crack inside the volcano or on earths surface.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
What do foliated and non-foliated rocks have in common?
They are both metamorphic rocks.
Where do metomorphic rocks form?
metamorphic rocks are formed in earths crust not on the surface
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
What type of rock from on earths surface from pieces of other rocks?

Metamorphic in a sentence
Are all rocks sedimenary rocks?
no.there areigneous rocks and metamorphic rocks as well.nevertheless about 95% of all rocks exposed on the earths surface are sedimentary.
What type of rock can only form below earths surface?
MetamorphicPlutonic rocks, (Intrusive igneous rocks).
What 2 types of rock are most common beneath the earths crust?

Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary. Basalt is the most common type of rock and it is igneous.

Why do metamorphic rocks often formed deep under the surface of the earth?
Metamorphic rocks are often found deep under the earth's surface because metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure. Therefore, they form while they are under the earth's surface.
What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks is the most common rock type. 75% of all rocks on earth are Sedimentary.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
