What rocks are formed from broken rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks and Cataclasites (a form of metamorphic rock) are formed from broken rocks.
What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks.
How do we classify rocks as igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic?
composition, how it is formed
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
What is the difference of a metamorphic rock and a sedimentary rock?
The difference of metamorphic rocks from igneous and sedimentary rocks is on the way these rocks are formed. Igneous rocks form when magma cools down and becomes solid while sedimentary rocks form due to erosion and weathering of the Earthâ??s material, whereas, metamorphic rocks are formed as a result of rock transformation called metamorphism.
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from sedimentary rocks by the activity of?
heat and pressure
Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
Are metamorphic rocks only formed by igneous rocks?
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from changes in igneous sedimentary or other metamorphic rocks?
yes
What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
What rocks are formed from broken rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks and Cataclasites (a form of metamorphic rock) are formed from broken rocks.
What rocks are formed when sediments are compressed compacted and cemented togerther?
Sedimentary rocks.
Are Sedimentary rocks are formed heat and pressure?
No, those are metamorphic rocks.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
How do we classify rocks as igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic?
composition, how it is formed
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
