What else can I help you with?
What kind of rock is calcite igneous metamorphic or sedimentary?
ANSWERCalcite is really not a rock it is a mineral therefore it can not really be metamorphic , sedimentary , or igneous. But it is usually associated in materials of sediment so most likely it is sedimentary. If you would have to pick one. SEDIMENTARY
Is the moon sedimentary rock?
yes they are you have to look at a normole one can tell you
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.
What type of sedimentary rock is made out of dead living matters?
organic/biochemical sedimentary rocks are formed of once-living organisms
How do rocks turn in to sedimentary rock through the rock cycle?
Limestone, from heat, can melt into magma. Mainly, it is weathered and eroded back into calcium carbonate solution in the sea, with its insoluble fraction left as the sediment from which it was created. Lastly, heat and pressure (contact metamorphism) can alter it into marble (a metamorphic rock).
What is Puddingstone made of?
Puddingstone is a sedimentary rock composed of conglomerate. It has not been metamorphosed. By studying the members of the conglomerate, one may deduce a possible origin.
What two groups of rocks that form all 3 kinds of rocks?
In reality, every rock on Earth could be formed of ingredients from any of the three rock types: sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic. This is referred to as the rock cycle, the continuous, billions of years old process of rock recycling.As for the direct transformation of one rock type into another due to heat and pressure, only metamorphic rock can be created this way. The metamorphism can occur to existing sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.Igneous rock can be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed by heat and pressure, becoming a Metamorphic Rock before being melted into Igneous. Sedimentary Rock can also be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming another Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed by heat and pressure, becoming a Metamorphic Rock before being melted into Igneous. Metamorphic Rock can be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed farther by heat and pressure, becoming another type of Metamorphic Rock in the line before being melted into Igneous.
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
What group of rock does shale belong to?
what group of rocks does sandstone belong to? give a three nameof a elements mentioed? what is the name of one compound mentioned?
Is a sill a common sedimentary rock?
yes sill is one of a sedimentary rocks
What does the rock cycle demonstrate about three different types of rock?
The rock cycle demonstrates how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are interrelated and can transform from one type to another over time. It shows how rocks can be melted, eroded, compacted, and metamorphosed, highlighting the dynamic processes that shape the Earth's crust.
Can a metamorphic rock break in half then one half turns into a igneous rock and the other into a sedimentary rock?
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
Which rock is mostly likely a sedimentary rock?
One showing an igneous nature.
How can a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
Which rock is mostly likely a non sedimentary rock?
One showing an igneous nature.
What kind of rock is calcite igneous metamorphic or sedimentary?
ANSWERCalcite is really not a rock it is a mineral therefore it can not really be metamorphic , sedimentary , or igneous. But it is usually associated in materials of sediment so most likely it is sedimentary. If you would have to pick one. SEDIMENTARY
What are some changes that occur when a sedimentary rock transforms into a metamorphic rock?
The process of metamorphism is one that changes or alters either the mineralogy or the texture, but typically both, of some pre-existing rock. Slate, marble and quartz are examples of metamorphism.
