What type of rock does volcanoes produce is it igneous metamorphic or sedimentary?
Volcanoes primarily produce igneous rocks, which are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. These rocks can be further classified into different types such as basalt, andesite, and rhyolite, depending on their composition and texture. Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can also be found near volcanoes due to processes like heat and pressure from volcanic activity.
Why don't geologists find fossils in a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock is formed deep in the Earth's crust under tremendous heat and pressure. Fossiles are formed in sedimentary rock near the surface.
Where are the three types of rocks found?
Sedimentary rocks are found generally at the bottom of an ocean as this is where eroded material falls. Igneous rocks are found near volcanoes as they are molten rock. Metamorphic rock can be found anywhere, as it is formed in the ground and slowly comes up to the surface (but it is made of igneous or sedimentary rocks.)
Where in the Bronx can one find igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
If you can find an open piece of dirt, you can find rocks. All rocks fallinto those three categories. If you find a flat, smooth piece of rock, you might have found slate, a metamorphic rock. However, most metamorphic rocks are hard to find in the New York area, as there are few plate tectonics in these parts. Anyhow, look for rocks and use this rock key: http://www.rockhounds.com/rockshop/rockkey/index.html

Is turquoise sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
Turquoise is a secondary mineral that forms through the alteration and replacement of pre-existing minerals in various types of rocks, which can be sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. Turquoise can occur in all three rock types depending on the specific geological conditions.
Where would you most likely find metamorphic rock?
Transform boundry
Where do you find the young rocks?
near volcanoes
Is travertine metamophic rock?
Travertine is a type of metamorphic rock. It is also a sedimentary rock, which is usually found near underground water sources.
Where can you find pictures of a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock had been formed in layers , often found near the water sources with fossils form decayers.Igneous rock it formed the cool lava and hardened that how it formed.Metamorphic rock formed Sedimentary rock and Igneous rock can also be transformed with pressure, heat and chemicals Metamorphic they'll become
Where would you find young rocks?
near volcanoes.
Is volcanic rock igneous sedimentary or metamorphic and why?
Volcanic rock is igneous, not sedimentary or metamorphic. It forms when magma cools and solidifies on or near the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form through the accumulation and cementation of sediments, while metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
Where could you find hot springs?
Mainly near volcanoes.
Why don't we find fossils in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Fossils are remains or impressions of living organisms and they are found in the sediments in or near where they lived. Living organisms cannot live in a molten magma which cools to become an igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks used to be sedimentary and igneous rocks but they were buried very deep under mountains and any traces of fossils in the sedimentary layers have been removed by the heat and pressure which altered the rock.
