Which major component of detrital sedimentary rocks only rarely occurs as a primary mineral in igneous rocks?
The mineral quartz is the major component of detrital sedimentary rocks and rarely occurs as a primary mineral in igneous rocks. Quartz is resistant to weathering and is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust.
What rocks made of?
Rocks are made up of minerals, which are solid chemical compounds that occur naturally in the Earth's crust. The three main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, each formed through different geological processes. Igneous rocks form from cooling and solidifying magma or lava, sedimentary rocks form from the compression and cementation of sediment particles, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks under high pressures and temperatures.
Do metamorphic rocks contain layers?
well technically the first diamonds were made from magma before the earth was populated with people, but now the only way to make crystals(not diamonds) is from burning graphite, which is the only other substance completely made from carbon, like diamonds. so yes technically crystals are made from magma when it is spewed up from volcanos.
Can a rock be made of a single mineral?
no a rock is a mixture of 2 elements or more so it would not be possible
How is an igneous rock created?
Igneous rocks are created when magma cools and solidifies either below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface as lava (extrusive igneous rocks). The rate of cooling affects the crystal size and texture of the rock, with slower cooling producing larger crystals. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.

Did the great pyramid was made up of metamorphic rock?
No only igneous and sedimentary rocks

Are rocks only made up of cells?
No - rocks are not made up of cells. Only living things have cells. Rocks are groups of minerals and/or mineraloids (mineral-like substances).
What made rocks?
Rocks which are made of minerals can be made up of many minerals and they can also be made up of only one mineral. Generally rocks are made of two or more minerals
A type of rock that is composed of only one mineral?
Limestonedunitequartziteand some others
Can you melt metamorphic rocks?
no, the process only happens to igneous rocks
Are metamorphic rocks volcanic?
No. Only extrusive igneous rocks are volcanic.

Where in your home can you find an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks are rocks formed by magma. so the best place to find igneous rocks would be by volcanoes or where a volcano once erupted.
What rock can only be formed from sedimenta rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks. With proper heat and pressure sedimentary and igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks.
Are igneous rocks formed only beneath earth's surface?
No. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed beneath the earth's surface when magma cools and extrusive igneous rocks form when lava extrudes from a volcano and cools.
