No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
They are all Sedimentary
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary and igneous rocks. When sedimentary or igneous rock is subjected to heat and pressure, the rock gets compressed. Therefore, if you had the same amount of metamorphic rock and sedimentary or igneous rock, the metamorphic rock would be heavier, because there is more 'stuff' in the metamorphic rock. ---------------------------------------------- However please note: There are types of igneous rocks that are hard (eg granite) and others that are soft (eg volcanic ash). There are types of metamorphic rocks that are hard (eg gneiss) and others that are soft (eg marble). Thus "hardness" is not a characteristic that can be used to distinguish between the two.
Not necessarily. There are volcanic rocks that date back to the precambrian time, much older than most sedimentary rocks around today. At the same time, as there is still continuous volcanic activity on earth, some volcanic rocks may be only minutes old, making them the youngest rocks on earth.
Slate and shale have the same make-up. Slate is formed from sedimentary shale by pressure and heat. Wet shale has the same smell that wet slate has.
they use it by flooring and roofing and decorations, plus its a mixture of all rock so it may have the same use as the other igneous and sedimentary rocks
No, magnets and sedimentary rocks have different properties. Magnets have the property of attracting certain materials like iron, while sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediment over time. Sedimentary rocks do not exhibit magnetic properties unless magnetic minerals are present in their composition.
their both rocks
Correct, porphyritic texture is typically associated with igneous rocks and is not a common feature of sedimentary rocks. It is characterized by larger crystals, known as phenocrysts, surrounded by a fine-grained or glassy matrix. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which do not typically undergo the same crystallization processes as igneous rocks.
no
No two sedimentary rocks are shaped the same, there are many different shapes

Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
No. Actually, some rock is metamorphic, or Igneous. See, there is a rock cycle and rocks go in different stages(never the same way every single time!) . The rocks go through weathering. erosion etc.
Sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure, while igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks through the same process. Both types of rocks can also be weathered and eroded, leading to the formation of new sedimentary rocks.
