Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have what?
a metamorphic rock which has been changed by climate ,pressure or acid in things like rain.Example of metamorphic rocks;Slate and Marble. Hope I helped answer your question.

How do you dissolve limestone rocks?
Any strong enough acid will do. At home you can try this with vinegar (acetic acid) or lemon juice (citric acid).
Why Is vinegar a acid?
Vinegar is dilute acetic acid, which is an acid, not a base.
Why does vinegar cause sedimentary rocks to fizzle?
Vinegar, which is acidic, reacts with the calcite or limestone present in sedimentary rocks, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide gas. The fizzing or bubbling you observe is the visible evidence of this reaction. This reaction between the acid and the calcium carbonate in the rock is similar to the reaction that occurs when acid is added to baking soda.
Is a vinegar a acid or a base?
Vinegar is dilute acetic acid, which is an acid.
Which of the acid found in Vinegar?
Acetic acid is found in vinegar.
What kind of chemical weathering is vinegar?
Vinegar is a weak acid composed of acetic acid that causes chemical weathering through acid dissolution. When vinegar comes into contact with minerals in rocks, it breaks down the minerals through a chemical reaction, leading to their decomposition and erosion over time.
Why do sedimentary rocks bubble with acid?
Actually acid is not reacted with all type of the sedimentary rocks. Acid is only reacted with carbonate rocks and with those rocks which having the carbonate contents. Every serious field geologist carries a small bottle of acid to perform this quick field test, used to distinguish the most common carbonate rocks, dolomite and limestone. A few drops of the acid are put on the rock, and limestone responds by fizzing vigorously. Dolomite fizzes only very slowly.
What is the main acid in vinegar?
Acetic acid(CH3COOH) is the main component of vinegar .
