Will the erosion on a mountain range that was pushed up as a result of two continental plates colliding lead to the formation of igneous rock metamorphic rock sedimentary rock or magma?

Erosion would most likely lead to deposition, compaction, and cementation, processes involved in the creation of sedimentary rock.

Erosion on a mountain range that was pushed up as a result of two continental plates colliding will lead to the formation of?
sedimentary rock
Describe how a collision between continental plates can result in the formation of metamorphic rock?
Well if you take into acount that metamorphic rock is formed by applying heat and pressure to sedimentary rock the answer becomes quite clear; the pressure is created by the tectonic plates colliding and the heat source is from the molten rock that is pushed close to the surface due to the collision. :)
Rocks are classified as igneous sedimentary or metamorphic based primarily on their?
Based on their method of formation.
Can a rock be classified as sedimentary igneous or metamorphic by its method of formation?
Yes. That is the basis of the classifications. === ===
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.

Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
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.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
They are classified by origin, method of formation, mineral composition, and texture.
What famous formation has been built with igneous rocks?
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
How was sedimentary rock formed?
SEDIMENTARY ROCK FORMATION, begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
What temperature is sedimentary rock formed at?
Sedimentary rocks can be formed at any temperature found on the surface of the Earth. Diagensis of sedimentary rocks occurs at temperatures up to the formation of chlorite (200C) from then on they are metamorphic rocks.
