What else can I help you with?
Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed by Lithification. Metamorphic rocks texture depends on how much eat and pressure was exerted on it. Sedimentary rocks texture is usually fine grained. Not much i could find on compare.
What are 2 things the same about igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
How can you get different igneous rocks from the same magma body?
Magma underground may differentiate and form different intrusive igneous rock. Magma from the magma body may erupt, cool, quickly, and form fine-grained extrusive igneous rock, or partially remain underground and form intrusive igneous rock. The type of igneous rock formed from the magma body will largely depend on whether or not it is erupted, and the speed of its cooling.
Any one of the three types of rocks can turn into any other type?
This statement is incorrect. Rocks are classified into three main types - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - based on how they are formed. While rocks within each type can transform into different rocks within the same type through geological processes, they cannot spontaneously change into rocks of a completely different type.
When you look at a metamorphic rock how can you tell it is one?
Understand that metamorphic rocks are those that have changed in some way by heat or pressure or both. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments and igneous rocks are formed by fire. When these rocks change again, they become metamorphic. Marble is one type of metamorphic rock.Look at the way the grain are formed. In schist rocks, you can see that the layers and the grains all go the same way. Warning Metamorphic rocks are difficult to classify because different amounts of heat or pressure to the same rock can look different.
How are igneous and sedimentary rocks the same?
their both rocks
Are sedimentary and igneous rocks the same?
no

Is porphyritic texture is not a feature of sedimentary 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.
How does igneous rocks form?
Igneous rocks forms when molten rock cools&becomes solid. Igneous rocks that originally formed at great depths can reach Earth's surface over time. Deep rocks may be raised closer to the surface when mountains are pushed up.At the same time , other process can wear away the rocks that cover the deeper rocks
What are the same about igneous metamorphic and sedimentary?
they are all rocks
Why do igneous rocks that have the same composition sometimes have different sizes of mineral grains?
This is as a result of difference in the rate of cooling of the Igneous rocks.
What are non-examples of igneous?
Non-examples of igneous rocks would include sedimentary rocks like limestone or sandstone, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments. Another non-example would be metamorphic rocks like marble or quartzite, which are formed from the alteration of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature. These rocks differ from igneous rocks, which are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava.
What are 2 things the same about igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
How are industrial diamonds formed?
Industrial diamonds are typically formed under very high pressure and temperature conditions in the Earth's mantle. They are formed when carbon atoms are subjected to these extreme conditions and transform into diamond crystals. These diamonds are then brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions.
Why can two igneous rocks have two same minerals but different names?
Although chemically equivalent, they would be different in their method of formation. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, cooled from magma under the surface. The rock rhyolite is the chemical equivalent of granite, but formed on the surface, making it an extrusive igneous rock. Intrusive rocks have larger crystals.
