What are the two types metamorphic rock?
The two groups of metamorphic rock are foliated and nonfoliated. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as contact and regional.
Is metamorphic rock sedimentary?
No, metamorphic rock is not sedimentary; those are two different types.
If a metamorphic rock contains and intrusion of igneous rock which rock is the oldest?
In this scenario, the igneous rock intrusion is the youngest rock, as it formed after the metamorphic rock was already in existence. The metamorphic rock must have been present before the igneous rock intruded into it, making the metamorphic rock the oldest of the two. Thus, the metamorphic rock is the oldest in this context.
What characteristics of state make metamorphic rock useful?
Most metamorphic rocks are very hard. They are often impermeable. These factors make them useful for building materials which last well.

What two things can metamorphic rock change into?
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through melting and solidification, or into sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and lithification.
Why does characteristics make marble a useful metamorphic rock?

What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
What metamorphic rock is currently known as coal?
Anthracite coal is classified as a metamorphic rock. I've included two wikipedia links on this subject.
What two geological processes are involved in changing a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock?
The two geological processes involved in changing a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock are melting and solidification. When a metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperatures, it can melt to form magma. This molten material can then rise to the surface, where it cools and solidifies, resulting in the formation of igneous rock.
