Rocks are rocks that have changed from one type of rock to another?
Yes. Igneous rocks have been charged from other rocks by melting followed by solidification. Sedimentary rocks have been changed from other rocks by weathering, erosion, deposition, and consolidation. Metamorphic rocks have been changed from other rocks by pressure and heat.
