How do we classify rocks as igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic?
composition, how it is formed
What are the three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle?
They are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic due to weathering, erosion, heat, and pressure
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 are crystals igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
its igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic
What describes the composition of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.

How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
What describes the composition of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat
Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
CAN Metamorphic rocks occur from sedimentary and igneous rocks?
Yes, both sedimentary and igneous rock can be metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What are the three types of rock and their formation?
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
Does heat and pressure form metamorphic?
Yes it dose Sedimentary and igneous
How was metamorphic made?
an igneous or sedimentary rock that is changed by heat or pressure
