If you were to tunnel into the crust of the earth what kind of rock would you most likely find there?
You would find metamorphic rock in Earth's crust.
What are the processes that can cause igneous or metamorphic rock to turn into sedimentary rock?
The metamorphic or igneous rock would have to be weathered and eroded until it is only particulates. Those particulates must then be forced together as a layer under gravitational pressure. These particulates will then become sedimentary rocks.
Why fossils are rarely found in metamorphic and igneous rocks?
This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
If a sedimentary rock contains inclusions of metamorphic rock which rock is older?
The metamorphic rock would be older, because in the sedimentary rock's formation that is caused by collected sediment taking years to harden and turning into a rock, the metamorphic rock would have already been considered metamorphic when traces of it came into the sedimentary.
When metamorphic rock changes to magma the magma rises and cools to become?
A metamorphic rock is formed by the elements, minor heat, and compression. When the metamorphic rock is melted by magma, this would indicate that the metamorphic rock is under the surface of the earth. If it rises and cools again you will have an extrusive igneous rock. In a lot of cases, this is metamorphic rock on the surface under the influence of lava. This would change the composition and it would not longer be metamorphic, but rather igneous.
Would you be less likely to find fossils in metamorphic rock than in sedimentary rock?
Yes.

What type of rock is most likely to hold a fossil?
A fossil will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock because sedimentary rocks are made out of organic fragments such as rocks, shells, leaves, fossils, pebbles, and so on. A metamorphic rock would not hold a fossil because a metamorphic rock forms under great heat and pressure, and fossils would be destroyed under such conditions. An igneous rock would not hold a fossil because they form through the hardening of molten rock and fossils would be burned up and cremated in lava. Thus, fossils will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock.
Why aren't you likely to find a fossil in metamorphic or igneous rocks?
the fossils would be turned into another rock if it was in a metamorphic rock or igneous rocks. it requires a blanket of sediment
If you were to tunnel into the crust of the earth what kind of rock would you most likely find there?
You would find metamorphic rock in Earth's crust.
Would you find fossils in metamorphic rock?
You can but it very very rare. you are more likely to find them in sedimentary rocks.
What is rock that is changed by heat pressure or chemical change?
Metamorphic rocks have been changed by heat or pressure. This can be a change in size, shape, or arrangement of minerals.
How do you reset your Facebook profile to 'Public'?
you would have to go under settings and change the things that show who can veiw your relationship status and stuff. go under privacy settings.
What happens to Rock Salt when heat and pressure is applied?
Rock salt would not form a metamorphic rock, due to its dissolution under metamorphic stresses. The solution would be forced elsewhere, but small amounts could recrystallize as a small component of another metamorphic rock.
What is the most likely reason a user on a network would not be able to change system settings?
