What may happen to a rock/mineral is that the softer layers of a rock that are closest to the surface get weathered or eroded away while the harder center parts do not. This usually results in interesting and uneven rock shapes. Also, some weathering isn't exactly even in terms of the surface of a rock.

Rocks changed in form from sedimentary or igneous rocks?
Are meatmorphic rocks and also perhaps soil.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
What type of rocks form when molten rocks cool and solidify?
Igneous Rock
What are angular sediments?
sedimentary rocks , rocks that rock.
What are rough textured rocks?
Rocks with a large grain size perhaps with angular grain shapes.
How do rocks differ in shape?
Rocks differ in shape. The shape of rocks depend on the shape of the minerals that compose them. Rocks may be round or angular.
What name is given to layers of tilted rocks that are overlain by younger more flat lying rock layers?
angular unconformity
How to solve problems of uneven stone engraving?
You can manually using water jet machine can engraving on uneven rocks.
What rocks are a mix of sharp angular pebbles?
A sedimentary rock called "breccia". The sharp angular pebbles making up the breccia could be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Breccias generally form close to the point of origin of the clast rock, having less time to round those sharp angular edges.
What is the gradual rounding of corners and edges of angular blocks of rocks?
spheroidal weathering
Which type of geologic event has to occur to create an angular unconformity?
The folding or tilting of rocks, followed by renewed deposition, has to occur to create an angular unconformity.
What. Type of unconformity consists of tilted sedimentary rocks that are overlain by younger more flat lying sedimentary rocks?
angular unconformity
What is the gradual rounding of the corners and edges of angular blocks of rocks called?
Spheroidal weathering
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metaporhic rocks form in to igneous rocks but not to sedementry rocks?
it can form into both, they can all form into one another
