How do metamorphic rocks compare to other rock types?
Metamorphic rocks differ from other rock types (igneous and sedimentary) in that they are formed through intense heat and pressure acting on pre-existing rocks. This process causes the minerals within the rock to re-crystallize, creating new textures and structures. Metamorphic rocks can also exhibit foliation, which is a layering feature not typically found in igneous or sedimentary rocks.
What other types of rocks are there other than igneous sedimentary and metamorphic?
Other types of rocks include volcanic rocks (such as basalt and pumice), hydrothermal rocks (like geyserite and travertine), and organic rocks (such as coal and limestone). These rocks form from specific processes or conditions that differ from the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
What rock is made of other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made from weathered down materials, often rocks, so they can be argued that they come from other rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks; these rocks go under extreme heat and pressure. In conclusion, metamorphic rocks are definitely made from other rocks, and sedimentary rocks are sometimes made from other rocks. Sedimentary rocks are always made of other rocks,extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks as well as metamorphic rocks are weathered and eroded by agents like water , wind and sunlight and are stratified and compacted to form sedimentary rocks. Hence, even if metamorphic rocks are made from rocks, sedimentary rocks are definitely made from other rocks. Eg: sedimentary rock shale gets metamorphosed into slate and further metamorphosed into shcist which is the parent material of granite which can be effected by agents of weathering and erosion into sedimentary rocks again.
Which type of rocks are produced from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from other types of rocks under high temperature and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
Which type of rocks are produced by changing other rocks with high temperature and pressure underground?
Metamorphic rocks are produced when other rocks are subjected to high temperature and pressure underground. This process causes their mineral composition, texture, and structure to change, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks like marble, slate, and schist.
Why are some rocks and minerals more special than other rocks?
because it has some precious value s compare to the oters metals
Which tool should a student use to compare the masses of two small rocks?
A student could use a digital scale or a balance to compare the masses of two small rocks. Simply place one rock on the scale, record the mass, then repeat with the other rock to make the comparison.
Do rocks have organization?
People (geologists) have organized rocks and minerals into categories to better study them and compare their properties. The rocks themselves do not care about organization.
How can fossils be uesed to compare the ages of different rocks?
i dont know do i
How does the age of a fault compare to the age of the rocks that are actually faulted?
The fault will be younger than the rocks it faulted (cross-cutting relationships).

Metamorphic rocks can also exhibit foliation, which is a layering feature not typically found in igneous or sedimentary rocks.
How do extrusive and intrusive rocks compare?
both form from heat-volcanic activity
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
How would present day animals and rocks on different continents compare since the continents have been separated for a long time?
Present day and animals and rocks on different continents compare the been separated for a long time by scientist examines rocks to find out about earth's history and structure
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
What tool should a student use to compare the masses of two small rocks?
balance
What rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks?
the metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and extreme pressure from other rocks
