Which type of rock is marble made of?
Marble is a metamorphic rock type form. Marble is used as a building material and as sculpture material also.
Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
What is the rock called that existed before it is changed into a metamorphic rock?
The original rock that exists before it undergoes metamorphism is called a parent rock or protolith. This parent rock can be any type of rock, such as sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock, that is subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a metamorphic rock.
Rock that has changed from one type of rock to another type of rock is called?
It can be any type of rock. If heat and pressure deep in the Earth changed it, it is a metamorphic rock. If sediments of sand or other rocks compacted/cemented together, it's a sedimentary rock. If magma from a volcano cools, (on the outside of a volcano) it's an igneous rock.
What is a metamophic rock?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that is formed from heat and pressure it can form from a sedimentary or igneous an example of a metamorphic rock is marble metamorphic rocks can have foliation like banding or layers.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
What type of rock can be changed to igneous rock?
lime stone
What type of rock has changed from on type of rock another?
Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.

What are metamorhpic rocks?
Metamorphic rock is the result of the transformation of an existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".
What is the rock called that existed before it is changed into a metamorphic rock?
The original rock that exists before it undergoes metamorphism is called a parent rock or protolith. This parent rock can be any type of rock, such as sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock, that is subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a metamorphic rock.
If a volcano erupts what type of rock will form?
It will form extrusive igneous rock. Beyond that they exact type will vary.

When a sedimentary rock melts what type of rock forms?
Sedimentary rock can be changed into igneous rock by undergoing melting and then solidification.
What type of rock can be changed to igneous rocks?
lime stone
Type of rock has been changed from one type into another?
Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.
