How do scientists date sedimentary rock?
They date the igneous intrusions and extrusions near the sedimentary rock layers.
Why portions of the sedimentary rock layers have the symbol for contact metamorphism?
the rock layers were eroded at the interface between the igneous intrusion and the sedimentary rocks.
Can sedimentary rock be changed into igneous rock?
If it is forced back into the molten layers of the Earth, then yes, it will become igneous rock.
Is sand stone a sedimentary a metamorphic or a igneous rock?
sandstone is a sedimentary rock because of the layers or lines you can see on it
Which type of rock forms in layers which are called strata?

How would igneous rock be on a layer of sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock could have been erupted as lava on the surface, or intruded into the sedimentary rock layers as magma underneath the surface (a sill).
How would you know the difference between igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rocks tend to have layers. Igneous rocks tend to have crystals. If you don't see layers or crystals, the rock might be metamorphic.

It is younger.
