Sedimentary rocks are ones formed by solidified mud and loose earth. Metamorphic rocks are ones formed by some sort of change, such as melting and re-cooling. So they are similar in some senses (they are both rocks, both of the earth) but in others they are very different (physical properties).
What else can I help you with?
What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
What are some rocks that are not volcanic?
Sedimentary rocks: Metamorphic rocks
More often than metamorphic or igneous rocks sedimentary rocks have what?
Sedimentary rocks have numerous fossils
How are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks similar and different?
They are both rocks. Sedimentary can contain metamorphic rocks. and vice versa.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
What features of sedimentary rocks are unlikely to be found in metamorphic rocks what features of metamorphic rocks do not occur in sedimentary rocks?

What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
What are 3 major rock types?
Igneous Rocks,Sedimentary Rocks,Metamorphic Rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
What are the types of the rock?
The types of rocks are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
What features of metamorphic rocks are unlikely to be found in sedimentary rocks?
Foliation, a layered or banded texture, is a common feature of metamorphic rocks but not typically found in sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks can also have mineral reorganization and recrystallization that are not commonly seen in sedimentary rocks. Additionally, metamorphic rocks may exhibit distinct metamorphic minerals like garnet, staurolite, or kyanite, which are unlikely to be found in sedimentary rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
How do sedimentary rocks go from the sea bed to be turned into metamorphic?
sedimentary rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks by the use of pressure and/or heat
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
