No, magnets and sedimentary rocks have different properties. Magnets have the property of attracting certain materials like iron, while sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediment over time. Sedimentary rocks do not exhibit magnetic properties unless magnetic minerals are present in their composition.

What causes sedimentary and igneous rocks to change?

Sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure, while igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through the same process. Both types of rocks can also be weathered and eroded, leading to the formation of new sedimentary rocks.


Is porphyritic texture is not a feature of sedimentary rocks?

Correct, porphyritic texture is typically associated with igneous rocks and is not a common feature of sedimentary rocks. It is characterized by larger crystals, known as phenocrysts, surrounded by a fine-grained or glassy matrix. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which do not typically undergo the same crystallization processes as igneous rocks.


Why do the three rock groups contain the same basic composition?

All rocks are some arrangement of Earth's magma. Igneous rocks are hardened magma. Sedimentary rock are from weathered material from igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks have the same composition but are subject to extreme heat and pressure and hence change their crystal structure.


What are two ways sedimentary and igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks?

Increase the pressure and temperature by burying them; or heat them with an igneous intrusion.


Are all rocks sedimentary rocks?

No. Actually, some rock is metamorphic, or Igneous. See, there is a rock cycle and rocks go in different stages(never the same way every single time!) . The rocks go through weathering. erosion etc.

Intrabasinal sedimentary rocks and extrabasinal sedimentary rocks?

Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.

Which property is more important for each sedimentary rock type?

Grain size is more important for determining the classification of clastic sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone or shale. Composition is more important for determining the classification of chemical sedimentary rocks, such as limestone or rock salt. Layering is more important for identifying the structure of sedimentary rocks, such as bedding in sandstone or shale.
