Can metaporhic rocks form in to igneous rocks but not to sedementry rocks?
Yes, metamorphic rocks can be subjected to high temperatures and pressures which can cause them to melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks. This process is known as anatexis. Metamorphic rocks can also undergo weathering and erosion to form sedimentary rocks.
Do all rocks go through the rock cycle?
Yes. All rocks are at some point in the rock cycle depending on its own composition and the environment it is in (it can be subject to weathering to form sedimentary rocks, high temperature and pressure to form metamorphic rocks, or melting and cooling to form igneous rocks)
What is true about the texture of all detrital sedimentary rocks?
Clastic rocks have a 'clastic texture', which means they consist of clasts. The 3D orientation of these clasts is called the fabric of the rock. Between the clasts the rock can be composed of a matrix or a cement (the latter can consist of crystals of one or more precipitated minerals). The size and form of clasts can be used to determine the velocity and direction of current in the sedimentary environment where the rock was formed; fine, calcareous mud only settles in quiet water, while gravel and larger clasts are only deposited by rapidly moving water.[10][11] The grain size of a rock is usually expressed with the Wentworth scale, though alternative scales are used sometimes. The grain size can be expressed as a diameter or a volume, and is always an average value - a rock is composed of clasts with different sizes. The statistical distribution of grain sizes is different for different rock types and is described in a property called the sorting of the rock. When all clasts are more or less of the same size, the rock is called 'well-sorted', when there is a large spread in grain size, the rock is called 'poorly sorted'
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rocks but not in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
mountain building
What is true for all rocks and minerals?
All rocks are composed of minerals, but not all minerals are rocks. Rocks can be made up of one or more types of minerals, while minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure. Rocks can undergo processes like weathering and erosion, but minerals are stable under normal environmental conditions.
Can metamorphic rocks form form other metamorphic rocks?
yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
What is true for all rocks?
They all slowly absorb CO2 from the atmosphere
all caves cotain some form of life true or false?
True. Even if not visible, like an animal, there is always something living there. like the rocks that make up the cave, or the oxygen that is flourishing all around the cave.
Can metaporhic rocks form in to igneous rocks but not to sedementry rocks?
Yes, metamorphic rocks can be subjected to high temperatures and pressures which can cause them to melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks. This process is known as anatexis. Metamorphic rocks can also undergo weathering and erosion to form sedimentary rocks.
Do all metamorphic rocks form through compaction?
No.
Is it true all rocks contain organic material?
No, not all rocks contain organic material. Rocks are formed from minerals and can have a variety of compositions, but organic material is not a requirement for rock formation. Organic material is typically found in sedimentary rocks, where fossils and organic compounds can be preserved.
Rough texture rocks have grains and fine textured rocks have grains?
Yes m that it true, other than glasses all rocks have grains.
Is magma the source of all rocks on earth?
No, while all rocks on Earth were molten at one point, most rock types do not form from magma. Rocks that form from magma or lava are igneous rocks. Most of the rocks at Earth's surface are sedimentary. These rocks form from the remains of rock that have been broken own into tiny pieces or dissolved in water. These components eventually settle, usually in a body of water, and are buried and turned to stone. Metamorphic rocks make up a third category. These form from rocks that have been altered under enormous heat and pressure while remaining solid.
What rocks have Krystle's?
No rocks have "Krystle's" - there is no such word as "Krystle's" and if there were you are using the "'" incorrectly. All rocks contain minerals, most of which are in Crystalline form.
Is it true All rocks can be weathered by acid rain?
Yes, mainly, they will rust
Are all rocks volcanic?
No. Rocks can be classified into three general groups: Igneous rocks, which form from molten rock Sedimentary rocks, which form from broken-down rocks turned back into stone Metamorphic rocks, which form as rocks change due to heat and pressure without melting. Igneous rocks are further divided into intrusive rocks, which cool underground, and extrusive rocks, which cool above ground. Only extrusive igneous rocks are considered volcanic.
