What else can I help you with?
What are the 3 kinds of rocks?
Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic.
Why is there no sedimentary rock deep in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks get transformed into metamorphic and eventually igneous rocks in deep earth's crust.
What type of rock always forms directly from another rock?
Metamorphic. By contrast, igneous rocks form from lava or magma, and sedimentary rock form from sediment. Those things are formed from previous rocks, but constitute intermediate stages: igneous and sedimentary rocks are formed indirectly from previous rocks.
What are the characteristics of Earth's crust?
the source of resources necessary for the survival of living things
Why is it rare to fine fossils in metamorphic rocks?
Fossils abound in sedimentary rock, you are in fact very likely to find them there.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
When igneous and sedimentary rocks change then what happened next?
they change into metamorphic 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
What are 3 major rock types?
Igneous Rocks,Sedimentary Rocks,Metamorphic Rocks.
Can any type of rock change?
Yes, because sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic and metamorphic can change into igneous rocks.
What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?
heat and pressure.
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.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks?
The rock cycle
How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?
Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
